This CIBA first-place mystery and mayhem winner has been described by bestselling author Gemma Halliday as a classic in the making.
Sherlock joins his family to celebrate the spring holiday in London until a tragedy during the 1868 Oxford-Cambridge boat race puts Mycroft Holmes' reputation on the line.
When Mycroft Holmes identifies a drowning victim, he is drawn into a situation that could destroy not only Lord Surminster's name, but his own reputation as well. If ruled a suicide, the lord's assets will be returned to the Crown, leaving his mother and siblings destitute. Should that happen, the victim's sister has threatened to drag Mycroft's good name through the mire. Will Sherlock be able determine what happened before more than one family is destroyed?
[Dr.] Sherwood-Fabre's attention to detail and vivid prose are on full display in this delightful look at the evolution of a young Sherlock Holmes.
