Return of the Magi

A heartwarming Christmas story



An uplifting Christmas novella, from the Sunday Times bestselling PJ Tracy

Caught with his hand in a church Christmas collection just hours after his latest release from prison, lifelong petty thief Emil Rice can't believe his luck when he's spared another festive season behind bars.

Sent instead to carry out community service at a local mental health facility, Emil's plan is to flee at the first opportunity. However this is no ordinary facility - isolated in the middle of the desert, Emil realises he has no choice but to stick it out.

To make matters worse, a number of the inmates immediately take a shine to him - especially eccentric sisters Gloria and Edith. The elderly duo are convinced they're the reincarnation of two of the wise men from the nativity story, and they've waited their whole lives to find the third and final wise man.

And they're convinced Emil fits the bill....

Warm and wise, funny and festive, this is a wonderful Christmas tale from Sunday Times bestselling author P.J. Tracy
