"AChristmas Cactus"
by Eliot Byerrum
The unflappable female gumshoe Cactus O'Riley detects holiday comic relief in the shenanigans of two escaped convicts, a deputy district attorney, and a male secretary and his mother. How do a Christmas tree and a bust of Charles figure in this mix? You'll be rolling in the aisles as you witness Cactus track down a happing ending for the holiday season.
