Learn how to become the most glorious a**shole the world has ever seen.

Bah! Humbug! It’s that time of year again….Time to spend too much, drink too much, eat too much, smile falsely, dig down deep to try and find “good cheer,” battle crowds, try to find parking in over-crowded lots, ignore surly clerks, bartenders, waiters, valets, and parking lot attendants, all in the pursuit of that moment of happiness known throughout the world as…dun, dun, dun: the Holidays. Has there ever been a time more suited to tapping into snark? With commentary, jokes, and quotes regarding Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year’s; on bad presents, worse in-laws, horrible children, and much more glorious excess. Enjoy such rotten sugar plums as:      • “Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people once a year.”—Victor Borge      • “If someone screws up on their gift, there are seven more days to correct it...No awkward explanations of virgin birth...No Irving Berlin songs.”—Among the Top Ten Reasons to Love Hanukkah      • “What I don’t like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.”—Phyllis DillerThe Snark Handbook: Christmas Edition is destined to be a holiday classic.

Private Investigator Tommy Shore has been summoned to Wallingford, Connecticut-a little outside of his normal jurisdiction. But Carla Vitter's brother-in-law is missing, and she's all alone to care for her niece. Worried that he got involved with the wrong type of people, Carla is on edge. And while Tommy suspects an abusive spouse-who might also be involved in a white supremacist group-the police offer no help, and he begins to wonder if they're involved as well. As Tommy digs deeper, he uncovers truth after hidden truth, and the investigation turns nasty-culminating in a question of whether anyone will come out unscathed.

But the stakes are higher and more deadly than they seem, for-unbeknownst to Tommy-serious mob connections are involved. Will Tommy make it to the end of this investigation's shattering conclusion?Part noir, part throwback, part travelog to one of the great small cities, For a Dancer is book two in the Tommy Shore Mystery series.
