Gary Reed's career-long love for Sherlock Holmes is as evident in this short book as it was in Honour Among Punks. It's a simple story, and reminds me of one of the "extra" stories in Reed's Baker Street series. It makes me wish we could have that old classic back again.

Sherlock Holmes retired and getting to focus on his experiments and work on a theory on humanity. plus, a story of mazes.

Weird. Great artwork, but the initial story is really weak and nothing really to it. The ending piece is pretty fun, but not really redemptive.
