PAPERBACK EDITION
By S. F. Bennett
Before Watson.
Before 221B Baker Street.
Before the stories of the Great Detective became legend… there was SHERLOCK HOLMES, a recent college graduate forced to seek charity from his disapproving brother while struggling to build his career as a consulting detective. When a former classmate comes to Holmes with tales of a series of lethal “accidents” at a local music hall, young Sherlock must take to the stage in order to uncover the sinister secrets hidden at the Hoxton Hippodrome.
Was Presto the Prestidigitator really pressed by a python? Did Vernovsky the escape artist drown by accident, or was the barrel locked on purpose? And did the knife juggler really cut his own jugular?
Sherlock Holmes must determine the truth while dodging his debtors and developing his distinctive detective skills. The show must go on!
