The desperate case of a convicted traitor sets Holmes on a quest for justice...
Europe, 1895
Political relations between the empires of Germany and England and the state of France are being tested as accusations of espionage and underhand activities threaten the fragile peace between the nations.
A Jewish French army officer, Captain Dreyfus, suddenly finds himself the victim of political corruption as he is tried and convicted of treachery for allegedly passing information to the German embassy in Paris. He is condemned to suffer the harshest treatment on Devil's Island, a French penal colony off the coast of Guiana.
A visit from Mathieu Dreyfus, the prisoner's brother, engages Holmes on one of the most lengthy and difficult cases of his career.
Is Dreyfus a traitor? Who is responsible for his living hell?
And why is Mycroft Holmes so deeply involved...?
PRISONER OF THE DEVIL is a new case for Sherlock Holmes, based on the original stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
'This book has caught my father's style marvellously and deals with a subject that was of considerable interest to him. I think it is in a different class from other 'newly discovered' Holmes stories, a gripping tale of its own and Sherlock Holmes's and Dr. Watson's appearances in it are always in character.' - Dame Jean Conon Doyle
'The relationship between Holmes and his chronicler, Watson - so vital and so difficult to achieve - is right on target, and the characterisations are such as any Holmesian will accept. The drama switches easily from the comforts of Baker Street to the horror's of Devil's Island and then to the calm before the storm of Switzerland. Michael Hardwick blends the great fictional detective so effectively into the real Affaire Dreyfus that one cannot be but totally convinced.' - Nicholas Utechin, joint editor of the Sherlock Holmes Society Journal
