The Yellow Farce

A New Sherlock Holmes Mystery

THE YELLOW FARCE. AN UNUSUAL AMERICAN WOMAN LIVING IN JAPAN MAY BE A FOREIGN AGENT AND DRAWING BRITAIN INTO WAR.
“Sherlock, this woman must be investigated. Every fortnight, she abandons her husband for several days, and every month a large sum of money appears in their bank account.”
“Oh, my. Half the married men on earth who would be on their knees thanking whatever gods they believe in were their wives to do likewise.”

In far-off Japan, a war is raging against the Russians.
Great Britain is officially neutral, but not entirely.
The Japanese are buying their navy from us.
The new Envoy to Japan is brilliant, but his wife is suspected of being a Russian agent.
And maybe having an affair with another Russian agent.
And maybe part of a plot to assassinate the Emperor.
Mycroft sends Holmes and me off to Japan to investigate.
And we learn that …
Things are seldom what they seem.

This New Sherlock Holmes Mystery is a tribute to The Adventure of the Yellow Face.
