Synopsis

TWAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS... ...and two robbers hired by a local crime boss manage to heist half a million dollars from an armored car. But getting the money and getting away with it are two different things, especially with a blizzard coming down, the cops in hot pursuit, and a double-crossing gambler and a murderous park ranger threatening to turn this white Christmas blood red.

About this title

Review:

The clever plotting and touches of humor make this an excellent holiday crime caper for readers of hard-boiled mystery. --Library Journal

Besides writing convincingly about cops and criminals, Boyd , the pseudonym of a former police chief in central Ohio, captures the feel of postwar smalltown America, and even manages to get in some telling commentary on the period's racial prejudice. --Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Easy Death proves to be a slyly funny and entertaining read. --Booklist
