When no one at the North Pole takes Noel Kringle seriously he relocates to Toronto to live his dream as a private detective. Complete with crampled office, second-hand desk, creaking office chair, in front of a drafty window overlooking a parking lot.

And no cases.

Until Regina Marcus walks in. Her problem: disappearing donations from the Santa Charity.

A simple fraud, perfect for Noel's first case. Until more than donations disappear.

Mystery with a dash of fantasy, Noel Kringle mixes Christmas and sleuthing in a tale of magic and suspense.
