When sabotage threatens the Rudin Sugar Factory, Detective Jasper Hollock believes this will be his first real case. But, dear Mr. Rudin-the only father Jasper has ever known-holds a different assignment for his private investigator. "I've struck a deal with God, Jasper, and you're my angel." Mr. Rudin charges Jasper to build a "case" of reasons for his employer to continue his life. If he fails, Mr. Rudin will end it in suicide on Christmas night. As the incidents at the factory become life threatening, Jasper's attempts at dissuading Mr. Rudin prove futile. Time is ticking. Jasper must solve both, cases by Christmas before Mr. Rudin and the company are, dragged to perdition.
