Description

In the times prior to Christmas, and prior to the traditions of the faith that will be not her very own, fighting actor Esther Stone is operating like a singing-and-dancing elf at Fenster & Co, a significant Manhattan department-store. Meanwhile, Detective Lopez, Esther's former almost-partner, is examining a number of mafia-connected vehicle hijackings of Fenster's expensive product. Because the Gambellos, who did not make the robberies, are now being inconveniently implicated in these occasions, fortunate Battistuzzi, a semi-retired hit-man inside the Gambello crime family, can also be investigating the thefts. Esther becomes conscious of scary and mystical activities at Fensteris, quite aside from squabbling consumers, hiding wiseguys, and half-nude elves.
