A Scrooge Mystery
Imprint: Zaffre
Synopsis
When everyone's favourite reformed miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, errs from the path of goodness, he starts seeing spirits again - this time of a girl, whose murder he must solve if he is to avoid the dreaded vision of The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
Ebenezer Scrooge wants to be a good man. He wants to be remembered. He wants to be loved. And he never, ever wants to see a ghost again as long as he lives.
But changing your ways on Christmas day is easy. Changing your ways for the rest of your life is a little trickier. Almost a year on from his haunting, Scrooge is slipping. Only fundraising attempts with the formidable Mrs Tassell and his growing bond with Tiny Tim are keeping him on the straight and narrow.
When a lucrative business opportunity comes his way Scrooge jumps at the chance to make some quick money, but then he sees her. Another ghost, silent and terrifying. And in order to be free of this haunting he must solve her murder. It leads him to investigate the connections between the upstanding men of business he used to admire and London's criminal underworld.
As Christmas draws closer, and with it, Scrooge's Benevolent Christmas Feast for the Poor, he begins to realise there's more at stake than his own soul.
