Publisher's summary

A gripping mystery, inspired by the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

If you love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original, you’ll love this gripping new tale from the world of Sherlock Holmes.

In the fog of London town, a man is hounded by mysterious attackers. Each morning, John Harden is silently menaced by a different passenger on his train. Objects keep disappearing in his house, then reappearing in bizarre places. Is he losing his mind, or can Holmes and Watson find a pattern to this sly terrorisation?

Holmes and Watson are just coming to grips with this mystery when another lands on their doorstep. So marks the beginning of an unprecedented spate of cases, each more alarming than the next: a tormented translator, an assaulted actress, a murder with the hallmarks of Jack the Ripper....

It can be no coincidence that the world’s greatest detective is presented with so many cases at once. The crimes have been designed with the sole aim of bringing him face-to-face with a deadly adversary.

Holmes and Watson are drawn into a dangerous four-handed game against an organisation of immense power and ruthless intent.

In a dastardly final move, their foe make the consequences of losing the game appallingly concrete.

In the second part of the beautifully written Odyssey of Sherlock Holmes Trilogy, Paul D. Gilbert pitches Holmes and Watson against a teeming criminal underworld.

Narrator is INCREDIBLY annoying

He’s like a British William Shatner but worse. He has one, count ‘em; 1… solitary cadence of speech which he repeats over and over and over and over. Pauses in the same part of each sentence. Same exact “rhythm” over and over. Like a robot trying to sound human, lacking programming beyond the very first speech variant sequence was set.

Ruined the book for me!!!!!

Irritating narration

It’s hard to focus on the plot when the narrator projects his voice in a singsong rhythm of loud and soft as though he were on stage. It gives the impression that Holmes and Watson are constantly shouting at each other.
