# Krampus Confidential - Hardcover

by **Kyle Sullivan** (Author), **Derek Sullivan** (Illustrator)

**_★ 2023 Independent Book Publisher Book Award Winner: Best Holiday Book_**

**It's almost Christmas, but the nights in Tinseltown are anything but silent.**

Ruprecht, a twelve-year-old krampus and wannabe detective, gets more than he bargained for when he takes the case of a terrified elf. Finding himself at the top of the Tinseltown Police Department's naughty list, Ruprecht is joined by his best friend, a ghost named Marley, to explore the underbelly of this festive but gritty metropolis, solve the mystery, and clear his name for good.

Book 3 of the _Hazy Fables_ middle-grade series, this quick-witted parody of Dashiell Hammett's _The Maltese Falcon_ follows up its acclaimed predecessors, _Zombie, Or Not to Be_ (a brainy adaptation of _Hamlet_) and _Hobgoblin and the Seven Stinkers of Rancidia_ (a Kirkus Best Book of 2019). Featuring powerful witches, a greedy goblin, a colossal cat, a "psychic" reindeer, and a platoon of shadowy phantoms, this whip-smart thriller celebrates the delightfully dark side of Christmas with mystery, intrigue, and a sleighful of characters from European folklore.

**"A witty parody of a film noir classic, this thriller will keep you turning the pages until well past midnight."** \--Illustoria Magazine
