Who was behind the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the event that launched World War I? Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in the death of President John F. Kennedy? Were the fears of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq justified? These are just some of the questions and events since the year 1990 that have sparked vigorous historical debates, both in the academic world and the general public.
Best-selling author Charles Todd has earned a special place among mystery’s elite writers with his acclaimed series featuring Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge, a former soldier seeking to lay to rest the demons of his past in the aftermath of World War I. But that past bleeds into the present in a complex murder case that calls into question his own honor…and the crimes committed in the name of God, country, and righteous vengeance.
Christmas is humbug, Scrooge says - just a time when you find yourself a year older and not a penny richer. The only thing that matters to Scrooge is business, and making money.
But on Christmas Eve three spirits come to visit him. They take him travelling on the wings of the night to see the shadows of Christmas past, present, and future - and Scrooge learns a lesson that he will never forget.
