The Ghost of Christmas Threeve (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230162162)

On the worst day of Christmas, a true ghost gives to Nick Crosby the chance to start over and over and over.

Technology Consultant Nick Crosby is hiding a guilty secret. No, two guilty secrets. But he's determined not to let either affect him as he says goodbye to his family and sets off for work on Christmas Eve, expecting to be given a promotion on this, his last day at work for the year.

Within two chapters, Crosby has lost his job, upset his wife and son, and returned home where, while in the pit of despair, a ghost appears just in time to stop him from making another stupid decision and instead offers him the chance to rewind time and experience three different fates on this Christmas Eve.

With nothing to lose except perhaps his job over and over and over again, Crosby agrees, and the ghost transports him first to a world in which his working life has been a failure and he has to battle to survive on the streets of London.

Then Crosby experiences an alternate reality in which he receives the promotion he's expecting - good news that actually causes his day to take a seriously sinister turn.

And in his final new reality, Crosby is shown his life as a spectacular success, but his status as CEO of his company brings with it the biggest dangers of all to himself and his family.

The Ghost of Christmas Threeve is a Christmas story of and for our times. It borrows the lead character's despair from It's A Wonderful Life and blends it with the time warp trap of Groundhog Dayand the window into three different realities of A Christmas Carol, to create a festive tale that shows how the new life we sometimes wish for isn't always the life we truly want or need.
