Ebenezer Scrooge: Ghost Hunter - Hardcover

by J. S. Barnes (Author)

In 1850, only one man stands between the living and the dead; only one man can uncover the secrets of the afterlife. His name? Ebenezer Scrooge.

An uncanny festive sequel to the classic novel, written in the tradition of Charles Dickens.

Perfect for fans of Laura Purcell and Kate Griffin.

Seven years have passed since the events of A Christmas Carol, seven years since the night when Ebenezer Scrooge took to a life of philanthropy and kindness.

But there is another side to Scrooge. Those afflicted by spirits and hauntings know of him as a man who can help rid them of the unquiet dead. Alongside his trusted companion and friend, Captain Ambrose, Scrooge faces off against malevolent poltergeists and supernatural wickedness.

So when Louisa Fell invites him to investigate her family home in the east of England, he is more than happy to oblige. But the mysteries at the Fell house are deep and terrifying, and the more Scrooge uncovers, the more he risks awakening the ghosts of his past, his present, and things yet to come.
