First book in the series coming in March from Poisoned Pen Press!
It’s 1893. King Kamehameha
III of Hawaii declares Sovereignty Restoration Day ... Tension grows between
China and Japan over Korea ... The Bengal Famine worsens ... A brilliant
scientist in Calcutta challenges the system … The senior priest at Kyoto’s
Kinkaku-ji temple is found dead in mysterious circumstances.
Dr John H. Watson receives
a strange letter from Yokohama. Then the quiet, distinguished Mr. Hashimoto is
murdered inside a closed room on a voyage from Liverpool to Bombay. In the
opium dens of Shanghai and in the back alleys of Tokyo, sinister men hatch evil
plots. Professor Moriarty stalks the world, drawing up a map for worldwide
dominion.
Only one man can outwit
the diabolical Professor Moriarty. Only one man can save the world. Has
Sherlock Holmes survived the Reichenbach Falls?
In a seriocomic novel that
radically ups the ante, Sherlock Holmes and Watson find their match in more
than one man (or indeed, woman) as a clock inexorably ticks. History, mystery,
romance, conspiracies, knife-edge tension; a train in Russia, roadside crime in
Alexandria, an upset stomach in Bombay, careening through Cambodia, nasty
people in China, monks in Japan–here’s a thrilling global chase that will leave
you breathless (occasionally with laughter) as the Sherlock Holmes: The Missing
Years series begins.
