Will time run out for Scrooge and Cratchit to unravel the latest mysteries in Murder and Treasure in Ireland and prevent epic disasters? Award-winning storyteller Curt Locklear is back at it with the third installment in the Scrooge and Cratchit: Detective mystery series published by Warren Publishing that will keep you on your toes. In book three, Locklear transports readers to the epicenter of the Great Potato Famine, setting the stage for an enthralling tale of murder, treasure, and dark magic.
Set against the backdrop of England and Ireland during the devastating Potato Famine, beloved characters Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Sherlock “Lockie” Holmes Sr.—father of the famous detective—embark on a relentless quest to unravel another round of perplexing mysteries. Three murders, two perilous ocean voyages, and the aid of a newfound martial arts expert (Abigail) all lead to a spellbinding adventure. Locklear’s cast also includes a brilliant woman scientist (Lucy), defying the conventions of the time, as well as a slew of supernatural beings who will captivate readers and keep them on the edge of their seats.
Spinning suspense at every page turn, Locklear skillfully weaves together a tapestry of mystery, action, and supernatural elements that expands on Dickens’s original characters, making this novel an unmissable addition to the series. “If Dickens can add ghosts to a story, why wouldn’t he love adding leprechauns, pookas, and faeries?” Locklear muses. “My joy comes from giving people great stories—hopefully ones they’ll remember and fall in love with.”
Embark on an unforgettable adventure as the detectives gather clues and questions arise: Are these murders somehow connected? Will the murderer(s) strike again? And will the detectives be able to thwart the sinister forces brewing in the background? With stakes higher than ever, the trio must race against time to prevent ancient treasures with Biblical connections from falling into the wrong hands and unleashing an earthly disaster. This exciting mystery centered around classic holiday characters is one readers won’t be able to put down.
