As the Royal Mermaid sails through troubled waters, Alvirah, Regan, and Jack uncover clues that lead them to dangerous criminals not on the original guest list...
That tranquility vanishes when two Santa suits disappear from a locked room, a storm develops, and an attempt is made on a passenger\'s life.
Alvirah, Regan, and her new husband Jack--head of the NYPD Major Case Squad--are joined as guests on the cruise by a Mystery fan convention, celebrating "a ghost of honor," as well as ten men who donated time playing Santa Claus, now hoping for a restful post-season.
Alvirah Meehan, lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and private investigator Regan Reilly are guests, along with their spouses, on the "Santa Cruise." The cruise is a gift from Commodore Randolph Weed to a select group that "has made the world a better place." His largesse is prompted by the desire to create a buzz about his new cruise ship, the Royal Mermaid , as she sets out on her maiden voyage.
