more Being promotions director of a large shopping mall isn't the most stress-free job on the planet, but Jenny Turnbull enjoys it and is darn good at it. She takes a load off by spending her evenings knitting—unhip, maybe, but therapeutic. But her job becomes quite a bit more gruesomely stressful when an unseen gunman shoots three people in a bloody food court massacre during her special Halloween promotion. And the situation gets totally out of hand when it turns out that the surviving victim, whose life is hanging by a thread in hospital, is the deadbeat son of a powerful, vindictive and grudge-carrying local city councillor. Since no one saw the shooter and the victims were completely unrelated, a suspect is going to be hard to find. Dark secrets hidden in the mall's back corridors come to light, rumours of drugs, child prostitution and infidelity, some involving the victims. Or was it just a crazed customer like the one that threatened Jenny on the very day of the murders? As Christmas nears, the mall Santa quits suddenly and the pressure is on. How will Jenny find the time and resources to unravel the tightly wound skein of this mystery?
