The Very Naughty List: Part Two (The Very Naughty List Series) by Michael D. A. Clarke

Last Christmas, Santa Claus was locked away for the Merryvale Shopping Mall Massacre.

But prison didn’t bury his legend — it fed it. In the shadows of his cell, a cult of true believers began to grow. They didn’t see madness in his killings; they saw justice. To them, Santa wasn’t a monster at all, but the only one bold enough to punish the wicked when the system failed.

Then the letters arrived. Thousands of them. Not lists for toys, but names. Abusers. Bosses. Landlords. Politicians. Each envelope a plea for vengeance. Each one adding another mark to Santa’s Very Naughty List.

In this dark, brutal, and wickedly funny sequel, Santa longs to grant those bloody wishes. But locked behind bars, his hands are tied… unless a little Christmas magic finds a way to set him free.
