Produktbeschreibung
Small town lawyer Thad Raker must win a case or Santa won't come to town, but he doesn't believe in Santa Claus or know the stakes when he takes the case for a homeless man who says he works for Santa. Henry Edmonds is on trial for stealing a flash drive which holds the key to Christmas coming. Several people claim ownership of the flash drive and want Edmonds in jail, including an elfish looking man who says he works for an international toy company. Witness by witness the facts come out but who is to be believed and are there any True Believers? And what's so important about the flash drive to the fate of Christmas? A local newspaper reporter stirs things up by blogging about what he calls the "Trial of the Century" and tweets that the "Court's Ruling Could Halt Christmas for Thousands." Can an irascible judge looking toward retirement find it within himself to save Christmas? With The Christmas Heist, A Courtroom Adventure, Landis Wade has written a Christmas fable for the 21st Century, one that reminds all readers of why they were (or are) True Believers.
