In which Justine learns the meaning of "blue Christmas" has nothing to do with melancholy

As a justice-meting daughter of Saturn and newly-minted lawyer, Tina Clancy is looking forward to a peaceful holiday in the Zone, her chemically-enhanced neighborhood in Baltimore's industrial area. She knows to expect a healthy dose of crazy. Sparkling holiday lights that spontaneously combust-check. Garden gnomes swimming in sauna-like snow melt-check. But when a blue blob crawls out of the red-hot sewer-that's a bridge too far.

Tina is suddenly immersed in exorcising a malevolent ghost, stopping the chemical plant from bulldozing her neighbors, and banishing endangered tourists from her increasingly peculiar home. At the same time, she's trying to figure out whether her drop-dead sexy client,

Andre Legrande, is a gift-wrapped present or a stocking full of coal. Oh- and Tina just may have accidentally opened a gateway to Hell.
