Publisher's summary

When two prison guards are found beheaded in the barren countryside surrounding Her Majesty's Prison at Wormwood Scrubs, Inspector Lestrade seeks Holmes' singular powers to determine how the murders could have been committed in separate locations with the only footprints being those of the murdered guards themselves. With Doctor Watson at his side, Holmes sets out on this new adventure and uncovers deeper mysteries still; mysteries that will not only test the detectives' powers of observation and deduction, but his skepticism of the paranormal as well.

A decent little tale

This was a fun story, a bit more “slice of life” than most tales. But still, the crime was reasonably Holmesian, and a bit whimsical.

I must ding the narrator for misreading and mispronouncing a number of words, but other than that, he did a solid job.

In short, I did enjoy this little episode, and you may, too.

true to the style of Sir A C Doyle

What a delight to have a new Sherlock Holmes adventure that mirrors the great works of Doyle. Loved every word.

What's real

Inspector Lastrade seems the help of Sherlock Holmes on a case involving the murders of two prison guards. Lucky for Homes , Doctor Watson stops by for a visit and joins in for this adventure, involving a banshee, fairies, and even a flying elephant.
