The brand-new festive murder mystery for beloved miser Ebenezer Scrooge to solve, featuring fan-favourite characters Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit, set in Victorian London. Ebenezer Scrooge, reformed miser and businessman, has a difficult relationship with Christmas. First, three spirits warned him to change his ways, then he was haunted by a murdered woman. This year, he cannot escape the spectre of a burned man, a silent, malevolent creature with a violent past. Then when one of his old business rivals is murdered, Scrooge discovers that a killer is targeting Christmas-hating misers. Soon the whole of London is looking for the mysterious Jack Holly, and Scrooge has an unlikely prime suspect: the Spirit of Christmas Present himself. With the resourceful Tiny Tim and the incomparable Widow Tassell by his side, Scrooge's investigation will lead to the darkest parts of the city as he is forced to reckon with his own sins of Christmas past.
