Dwarf detective Robert Frederickson--nicknamed Mongo--becomes involved in an enormous mystery that begins, innocently enough, with a letter to Santa Claus
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The seventh saga starring Dr. Frederickson (Mongo), master criminologist, equals the earlier stories in hyperbole and in terrific suspense as well. As related by Mongo, his brother Garth finds a letter to Santa Claus written by little Vicky Brown, begging for help. Her parents are among duped followers of "Reverend" Kenecky, who sexually abuses Vicky. Determined to rescue the little girl, Mongo and Garth survive a series of tension-producing clashes with Kenecky's vicious flunkies, first in New York and moving all the way to Iowa, the site of a planned Armageddon. As Garth says, it will take a miracle to save the world from a scene out of Revelation , when the "second horseman" appears to destroy peace and humankind. The reader doesn't need a miracle to suspend disbelief, just the appreciation of Chesbro's unlimited imagination and admiration of the valiant brothers, to relish this scary adventure.
