This book is awesome!! Every notable character we meet in the plot is a major game changer and as Holmes puts all the pieces of the puzzle together, it brings a chill and reflects well on the amazing mastermind that created this story - Anthony Horowitz! I am totally willing to uncover more of his works to see what more cool stuff he has got going for us readers.
A paintings and art dealer pays a visit to Holmes and Dr. Watson and requests for their assistance in getting him out of a inescapable situation. He is being stalked by an American gangster and he is suspected to have committed a break in robbery at the dealer's house. This thread of narrative soon branches off into a new direction with a young boy's murder. The boy is a street urchin in Sherlock's employ. Holmes directly or indirectly becomes responsible for the deaths of two youngsters - the boy and his sister - and the overbearing guilt drives him into the shackles of an enterprise of pure madness. Sherlock Holmes is framed for murder,put in jail and Watson knows naught what to do. He applies to Mycroft, Sherlock's brother but little comes out of it. How does Holmes escape his prison? What adventure do the duo embark on to bring an end to this mystery.. not one but two? How many villains does it bring out into the light from shadows?
Highly recommend this!
