The Venetian Masque-Maker

The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes

When Scotland Yard makes a collar in the aftermath of a ghastly double murder in the moneyed environs of London’s West End, charging a Venetian-born masque-maker with the crimes, Sherlock Holmes, newly arrived back in London after a working visit to the United States, is quick to declare the arrest to be in error, his suspicions soon coming to focus upon a centuries-old secret society which operates in the shadows, violence with a blade its hallmark. Thus swept up in events that suggest much and yet provide scant clues for even the world’s foremost consulting detective to find, Sherlock Holmes realizes he must move quickly, lest a third innocent victim also be struck down by sinister forces, in The Venetian Masque-Maker, the latest installment in author Compton Thorne’s award-winning fan-favorite, The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes.
