When his former boss is found dead with his calling card in his handâand âHUMBUGâ written in blood on the floor nearbyâScrooge must clear his name, protect his interests and find out who killed his last true friend with the help of a colorful cast of characters. By a New York Times best-selling author. Original. - Simon and Schuster
Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickensâs A Christmas Carol investigates a shocking murderâbefore he becomes the next victimâin this playful mystery in a new series from a New York Times bestselling author.
Scrooge considers himself a rational man with a keen sense of deductive reasoning developed from years of business dealings. But that changes one night when heâs visited by the ghost of his former boss and friend, Fezziwig, who mysteriously warns him that three more will die, and ultimately Ebenezer himselfâif he doesnât get to the bottom of a vast conspiracy.
When he wakes the next day, Scrooge discovers that not only is Fezziwig dead, but heâs under arrest as all evidence points toward himself: Scroogeâs calling card was found in the cold, dead hand of Fezziwigâs body, and someone scribbled âHUMBUGâ in blood on the floor nearby.
Now, Scrooge must race against the pocket watch to clear his name, protect his interests, and find out who killed his last true friendâbefore the âHumbug Killerâ strikes again. Joining Scrooge in his adventures is a spunky sidekick named Adelaide, who matches his wits at every turn, plus the Artful Dodger, Fagin, Belle, Pickwick, and even Charles Dickens himself as a reporter dealing in the lurid details of Londonâs alleyway crimes.
Full of action and wry humor, The Humbug Murders is a fun take on a classic characterâScrooge as youâve never seen him before.
