A Christmas train festooned with colorful lights chugs its way to Christmas Town carrying excited children, their black-tie dressed parents, and $500,000 worth of auction items for a charity event.
What could go wrong? Elves singing and passing out candy canes, Santa Ho Ho Hoing up the aisles, and a Grinch who plans to steal Christmas.
Enter P.I. Billie Bly, who has been hired to save Christmas, once again (See "The P.I. Who Found Christmas" Book 4).
To suceed, Billie must stop the most brazen train robbery since the Jesse James held up a moving train in 1873.
When Billie man sees clammoring across the train's rooftop and he disappears among a trainload of men in tuxedos, she knows it is a precursor to something much worse.
The brains behind the operation is far ahead of this stumped P.I., and her only chance in solving this mystery is with the help of a twelve-year-old Dancy Drew fan.
Can the two of them head off the thieves before they steal Christmas and doom a homeless shelter?
