| Summary: | Scuff has come a long way from his time as a penniless orphan scraping together a living on the banks of the Thames. Now he's studying medicine at a free clinic run by Dr. Crowe. Lately Crowe has grown distracted after witnessing an altercation between a former patient of his named Ellie-- a woman he not only treated but grew to love-- and her controlling fianceĢ. It seems someone is forcing Ellie to marry the man, and as Crowe's emotions come flooding back, he sets out to uncover the troubling connection between Ellie, her father, and her betrothed. With only weeks before the holidays, Scuff is left to fend for himself, performing surgery after surgery on London's poor and vulnerable. When a needy young girl named Mattie comes to the clinic for treatment, Scuff offers her a place to live in exchange for assistance with his medical work. The police are growing suspicious of Crowe's amateur sleuthing. Will anyone manage to have a peaceful Christmas? -- adapted from regular print edition jacket |
