Two weeks before Christmas, Duncan Wagner gets into his car        
for another attempt at kidnapping the son of his most despised enemy,
State Representative Win Booker.  When he drives into the wealthy Boston suburb, he is surprised to find the boy hitchhiking. So begins Wagner’s quest for revenge as he finds himself face to face with a real boy, and without a clue about how to run a kidnapping. Wagner, a self-styled charity Santa Claus, comes to realize that eleven year old Gabriel Booker is truly a runaway, much more curious than scared.  Gabriel has no idea who Duncan Wagner is—or could be.

A Jolly Good Fellow captures the true motives behind an unpredictable kidnapping.”
—J. Rye Erixon, author of The Strip Mall and Angel’s Milk

“A Jolly Good Fellow stands out among the seasonal novels on
any bookshelf. Masse has crafted a heartwarming story of
friendship between a young child and a lonely adult.”
—Tom DeMola, author of Exit 55

“Compelling, memorable, and certainly unusual. The characters are in charge of this sleigh ride, and it's refreshing to see that they're driving through Boston without a map. Highly recommended."
