This Christmas, Meg Langslow is running Caerphilly's Helping Hands for the Holidays project, in which neighbors help each other with things they can't do and can't afford to have done. In this 28th case (after The Falcon Always Wings Twice), the seasonal cheer vanishes when someone murders Harvey the Hoarder, whose house the Helping Hands were decluttering. Who was greedy enough to murder him for the rumored treasure hidden beneath his junk? And what about the magpie that has been bringing her family bits of tinsel and costume jewelry—does the bird's latest gift hold a clue to solving the crime? Meg is going to find out.
