Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Revolutionary Daughter
High-ranking members of England’s socialist movement suspect that Karl Marx’s daughter “Tussy” may be in danger, but can give Holmes no reason as to what kind of danger, or why. Weeks later, Tussy is found dead, an apparent suicide. But why would she bother to change her clothes after drinking cyanide? Why would she leave on her muddy shoes? What happened to the glass and the envelope by her side?
Past sins, scandalous relations and smouldering vengeance will all be revealed as Sherlock Holmes unravels the mystery of the Revolutionary’s Daughter!
John Lawrence is a PhD historian, former aide in the US House of Representatives, and author of more than a dozen published Sherlock Holmes pastiches based on historical events, and the novel-length adventure SHERLOCK THE AFFAIR AT MAYERLING LODGE.
