Scrooge understood this office had been his island,
a place of solitude, away from the danger.
Now he must embark to a new future, less certain.
Less tedious. Potentially more deadly.
After spending the last two years remaking himself, Ebenezer Scrooge is once again visited by the ghost of Jacob Marley. Except this time, he is sent on a mission to save an old friend, Hezekiah Hiram Grumbles, who has recently been accused of murder.
In order to clear Mr. Grumbles's name, Scrooge travels to Cornwall along with Bob Cratchit, his business partner; Frederick Edmund Nuckols, his nephew; and Lockie, his new office boy with sticky fingers.
Scrooge must put himself in the line of fire in order to solve the mystery, and in doing so, he will discover that not everything is what it seems, and it takes a lot of courage to be selfless.
He was a new Crusoe.
