Reginald Hill - Arms and the Women When Ellie Pascoe finds herself under threat, the men in her life assume it's because she's married to a cop. But while they trawl after shoals of red herrings, Ellie is blasted off course with a motley crew of women on a voyage of discovery whose perils make Scylla and Charybdis look like a pair of Barbie dolls. Irish arms, Colombian drugs, and men who will stop at nothing, create a tidal wave which threatens to sweep her away.
According to the story, it is Christmas Eve and Raggedy Ann and the other dolls did not have a gift for Marcella, and they wanted very much to find or make a gift for her. Making a gift was a tremendous challenge for dolls and toys that only came to life when the people were absent or asleep. Nothing seemed quite right until a Santa doll helped them. This book is based on the doll and toy characters created by Johnny Gruelle.
