The Man Who Would Be Santa

By Rebecca M. Senese
The Man Who Would Be Santa by Rebecca M. Senese digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

 

After celebrating a successful case, Noel Kringle wakes to a familiar scene. Bright sunshine, white walls, red trim, lampshade decorated with Santa on his sleigh... Wait, what?

Instead of his apartment in Toronto, Noel finds himself in his bedroom at home. At the North Pole.

Just how much had he drunk?

Joining his mother for breakfast, Noel notices something strange in the family photos. Then he realizes none of the pictures include his older brother Kris Junior. KJ, the heir to Santa Claus.

But no one remembers KJ. Not his mother. Not his father. Not the Christmas Elves.

Worse yet, that means the position of heir falls to... Noel.

His life turned upside down, Noel must find his missing—forgotten—brother or take up the mantle of Santa Claus. To disastrous effect!

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