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.

Scrooge feels he is doing Christmas right. He is decorating his house, buying gifts, entertaining his neighbours and planning a Benevolent Feast for the Poor. So when a lucrative business opportunity comes his way he jumps at the chance to make some quick money... to give to the poor, obviously. But maybe just keep some - OK, most - of it for himself.

But then Scrooge 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.
