    A gripping addition to the tales of Sherlock Holmes from the acclaimed author of the Newbury & Hobbes series

    A young man named Peter Maugram appears at the front door of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson's Baker Street lodgings. Maugram's uncle is dead and his will has disappeared, leaving the man afraid that he will be left penniless. Holmes and Watson soon find themselves digging deep into the murky past of this complex family.
    "Fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable"
    —Project Fandom

    "This is an excellent bridge between what most people know of Holmes and where he could potentially go"
    —Raging Biblioholism

    "Mann writes Holmes in a eloquent way, capturing the period of the piece perfectly, throwing Jeremy Brett fuelled childhood memories at me with every page and I must say that, if all non-Doyle Holmes adventures are this good, I will certainly read more... Those of you that love your Sherlock in any form, this is a must read.”
    —CultDen

    “Mann clearly knows his Holmes, knows what works and... the book is all the better for it.”
    —Crime Fiction Lover

    "A must read"
    —Killer Aphrodite
