Sherlock Holmes and the Flying Scotsman

Enter into a complex international scenario of espionage, intrigue, and assassination. Thrown in are a mixed bag of characters.

The young visitor to the household of Sir Adrian Fettice, himself something of an enigma, his opposite number of the German Secret Service, some almost innocent bystanders, a deadly assassin, and Sherlock Holmes. A trap is set, but the outcome is not as expected. Only the quickness of mind of the greatest detective is capable of achieving the most unexpected but brilliant final result.

Following shortly after publication of John Worth’s brilliant evocation of the Victorian era East End of London in his novel The Making of a Man, this latest offering from the same writer is a fast moving Holmesian novella. It will engage all who enjoyed the first novel.

Has the author even read Conan Doyle?

Don't waste your money if you are a Holmes fan. Holmes, Watson, and lestrade are nothing like Conan Doyle's characters. The story is insipid and confusing . Perhaps the worst part is the narration. He rushes through as if he was late for tea,adding to the incomprehensibility of the story.
