About this title

Synopsis

When Holmes and Watson agree to investigate the identity of an unknown stalker they are startled to discover that all the clues lead to a crime that occurred sixteen years earlier--the assassination of President Lincoln

From the Publisher

Holmes & Watson come to America!
Holmes and Watson come to America in the late 1800s to help Edwin Booth discover who's been taking pot-shots at the actor at various theaters around the world. In the process, of course, Holmes finds himself drawn to the intrigue offered by the Lincoln assassination--and sets out to prove, once and for all time, who really murdered the president.

Praise for the Surrogate Assassin:

"...more than a little absorbing ... Mr. Leppek advances a most improbaable scenario as his solution; I would venture that it is highly doubtful anyone could prove it to be impossible. There is so much here to please (or to incense) the Sherlockian scholar and the American history buff. It is highly recommended to both camps." -- Robert W Hahn, Baker Street Irregulars

"Leppek knows his Holmes and he knows his history and merges them skillfully in this deftly-plotted adventure ... the shocking finale was so convincing that he had me doubting the history books!" -- Jane Rubino, author, Death of a DJ and Cheat the Devil
