On the First Day of Christmas...

Twelve Days, twelve stories

Billy Partridge wasn't really cut out to be a cat burglar, but Dillon hadn't really given him any option. It was either do the job, or come up with thirteen grand by Thursday ... or have both his legs shattered. And the leg thing didn't even write off what he and Twitch owed Dillon, just deferred the interest. Come the 15th of January there'd still be thirteen thousand to pay.

Then there's newbie after-school drug-dealer Brian, who probably shouldn't be taking advantage of the job's fringe benefits; Philippe, a chef with anger-management issues and a lot of very sharp knives; Mr Unwin, the undertaker with the golden touch; and Lord Peter Forsythe-Leven, MSP, learning the hard way that having it all just means you've got so much more to lose...

Twelve short stories, all set in Oldcastle, all taking their twisted inspiration from the classical Christmas song.
