The new novel by NBA All-Star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, starring brothers Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes.
It is 1872, and a series of gruesome murders is the talk of London. Mycroft Holmes - now 26 and a force to be reckoned with at the War Office - has no interest in the killings; however his brother Sherlock has developed a distasteful fascination for the macabre to the detriment of his studies, much to Mycroft's frustration.
When a ship carrying cargo belonging to Mycroft's best friend Cyrus Douglas runs aground, Mycroft persuades Sherlock to serve as a tutor at the orphanage that Douglas runs as a charity, so that Douglas might travel to see what can be salvaged. Sherlock finds himself at home among the street urchins, and when a boy dies of a suspected drug overdose, he decides to investigate, following a trail of strange subterranean symbols to the squalid opium dens of the London docks. Meanwhile a meeting with a beautiful Chinese woman leads Mycroft to the very same mystery, one that forces him to examine the underbelly of the opium trade that is enriching his beloved Britain's coffers.
As the stakes rise, the brothers find that they need one another's assistance and counsel. But a lifetime of keeping secrets from each other may have catastrophic consequences....

So here's to hoping for 2 out of 3. Who knows? Maybe I was just having a bad couple days when I listened to the first one and I'll have to go back and give #1 another shot. Who knows?
I think this one was better than the first book

Please continue to produce these most excellent stories.
Dear fellow Holmes lovers,
These are superb stories. These will not disappoint, as so many other “extensions” have done. The historical backdrop is very well done. These authors have done the near impossible, fleshing out and motivating a believable Mycroft. The addition of a secret sidekick for him is just what was needed. You will absolutely love the formidable Mr. Douglas as both a counter balance and a means of explaining the previously mysterious elder brother of our favorite consulting detective.
To those new to the Holmes world,
You might want to read a few of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classics prior to these. Although these are “prequels”, and they stand quite well on their own, a familiarity with the world you are about to enter will enhance your understanding.
I could say very much more, The stories are deep and have a serious theme. But, just read them for fun and you will see all the rest for yourself.
Thank you.
Welcomed addition to the world of Holmes.

Very Well Done

- The writing was excellent and the performance outstanding.
- I particularly admired the way the writers portrayed the “systemic racism” then and now against both Blacks and Asians and how they have learned to protect themselves through humbling behaviors.
- Douglas was great as a protagonist: smart, educated, powerful and caring. Juan and several articulate, educated and smart Asians were also interesting characters to get to know. Mycroft and Sherlock and their relationship and sleuthing skills were entertaining and well/-presented and well-performed.
- There was a lot of history woven into the plot: about Asians in Britain, the place of powerful drugs in British society in the 19th century and more. I’m eager to do some research and learn more.
- Have just bought the other two books in the series and I can hardly wait to start listening to them.
