Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and their junior officer of the firm, Lockie (who is also an accomplished pickpocket and burglar), along with the help of a new, handsome bobbie, Officer Hart, must solve 4 CRIMES (count them. Four!) simultaneously, or London will collapse into civil war.

When a mysterious chain of murders and attacks strike London, the intrepid trio teams up with the Metropolitan police (bobbies) to investigate. Just as evidence is falling into place, Scrooge is again visited by the ghost of JACOB MARLEY. But Marley's ghost is accompanied by something far more sinister, Just behind the desk, what is that thing?

It is DARK, MALICIOUS, WAITING.

The detectives and police are faced with murder, kidnappings, and a pack of half-men, half-dogs prowling through London. Can they discover the underground scheme? They must work together to find the thread that binds these crimes together, stop the criminals, and perhaps put an end to the DARK MALEVOLENCE.
