Larry thinks he's crazy like a fox with his wild business schemes, but this time, the entrepreneur may have bitten off more than he can chew. Rumor has it that Larry's in the red--an idea that takes a sinister turn when Hannah discovers the man himself dead as a doornail in his own office.  .  . It seems quite a few people would have liked to fill Larry's stocking with coal and then bash him with it--including his bitter ex-wife, his ex-partner's daughter, a woman he was wooing, and the Crazy Elf Tree lot's extremely exasperated investors.  .  . Now, with so many suspects to investigate and the twelve days of Christmas ticking away, Hannah's running out of time to nab a murderous Scrooge who doesn't want her to see the New Year.  .  . Includes Hannah's favorite Christmas dinner recipes!
