When the body of a cowboy is discovered in London while Sherlock Holmes is incapacitated, it's up to Watson to fill his shoes. He discovers a mad genius and three beautiful women bent on killing the world's leaders and rendering all of humanity slaves to love. Tired and filled with self-doubt, Watson must find the confidence and inner strength to solve the case.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel length Sherlock Holmes story. I’ve read and enjoyed all of Sir Author Conan Doyle’s Holmes books, but until now I’ve never read one by another author. I don’t want to giveaway anything about the story. The setting is consistent with Doyle, i.e., late Victorian London. This is mostly a Watson adventure because Holmes has been rendered ineffective much of the time. Watson must overcome one setback after another to save Holmes, the Queen, England, and the world. It all leads to a thrilling climax. Now I’m tempted to try Holmes stories from other authors.
