Synopsis

1913. The clouds of war are gathering and Europe is in turmoil. A body is discovered on the shore below Beachy Head, just a mile from Sherlock Holmess retirement cottage. Suicide, or murder? As Holmes and Watson investigate, they uncover a conspiracy with shocking ramifications: men who welcome the idea of a world war are seeking divine aid to make it a reality.

About this title

Review:

"James Lovegrove has become to the 21st century what JG Ballard was to the 20th..." - The Bookseller

"One of the most interesting and adventurous British SF writers..." - SFX

"A completely enjoyable romp and a perfect vacation read." --Pop Mythology

"This is an atmospheric mystery which shows just why Lovegrove has become a force to be reckoned with in genre fiction. More, please." --Starburst Magazine

"Recommended for Sherlockians everywhere." --Crime Fiction Lover

"This is a prime Holmes pastiche: these are recognizably the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the story is something Conan Doyle might have created, and the writing is very much in the style of the original Holmes stories." --Booklist

"Another triumphant return of the consulting detective and his loyal friend, this time given an original and entertaining twist." -- --Fantasy Book Review
