  "description": "'Murder on Christmas day' is the newspaper headline no one wanted to read... A true classic from the golden age of crime fiction. 'Brilliant' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY When a small-town schoolteacher is discovered dead, beheaded, and tied to a T-shaped cross on December 25th, Ellery Queen is intrigued enough to take a closer look. But when he arrives, Queen is met with too few clues and too little evidence to produce a satisfactory verdict, even for a master sleuth such as himself, and so returns home, defeated. But when an identical murder occurs - followed by several more - Queen discovers a horrific connection to a strange cult. This is a disturbing puzzle unlike anything he's encountered before, and it will take all of his powers of deduction to uncover the killer.",
