About this title

Review:

"Maintains the integrity of the Serlock Holmes Canon. Fawcett seems to have captured the flavor of Doyle's work. There is an eventful final chase." --"The Mystery News" "[A] promising series opener. The Brotherhood's ruthlessness is both shocking and convincing; the period details of travel, lodging, and communications are richly conveyed. Absorbing." --"Publishers Weekly"
