Terrific intelligent, well written murder mystery surrounding the Sherlockian group "The Baker St. Irregulars", author Jeffers (who was a member of BSI, craftily writes this mystery where Holmes is always on the periphery, but not a true central character.....a must read for all Holmes aficionados.
