Louis Bayard takes up Timothy Cratchit’s story during the Christmas season of 1860 - nearly two decades after the events recounted in A Christmas Carol.
With wonderful characters, a compelling plot and the vivid atmosphere of Victorian London, this is a page-turner of a novel and a perfect Christmas read. Tiny Tim has cast his crutches aside. Determined to cut his financial ties to his Uncle Ebenezer, he now spends his nights dredging the Thames for dead bodies and the treasure hidden in their pockets. One day he comes across a girl’s body, branded with a mysterious ‘G’. Then he finds another girl with a similar brand - but she is still alive. Determined to protect Philomela and get to the bottom of the mystery, Tim embarks on an astonishing
adventure . . .
