Charles and Kate are out with friends and family for a chilly night of caroling and good cheer. Their singing is interrupted by a body plummeting from an upper window of a house-- his neck wrapped in chains. The dead man, Jacob Harley, was the business partner of the resident of the house, an unpleasant codger who owns a counting house, one Emmanuel Screws. Before Dickens can investigate further, Harley's corpse is stolen-- and Charles is visited in his quarters by what appears to be Harley's ghost. Dickens suspects Screws, the same penurious penny pincher who denied his father a loan years ago. Can he ensure that the next one in chains is the guilty part? -- adapted from jacket 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Dickens, Catherine, $d 1815-1879 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Journalists $z England $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Victoria, 1837-1901 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Redmond, Heather, $d 1969- $t Dickens of a crime. 941 $a 11 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119015450.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021350.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210023540.0 952 $l KTPC296 $d 20230203012856.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021941.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20210504012553.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20210102010442.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210102010230.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20201208011859.0 952 $l LPPC815 $d 20201120150401.0 $m F Red 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201024010024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2CC4529215BE11EBB488765158ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
