Why a Booktrail?
1880s: A new Sherlock Holmes novel, endorsed by the Conan Doyle Estate.
Holmes and Moriarty
What you need to know before your trail
Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend, Dr John Watson, have been hired by actor George Reynolds to help him solve a puzzle. George wants them to find out why the audience who comes to see him perform every night are the same people, only wearing disguises. Is something sinister going on and, if so, what?
Meanwhile, Holmes’ archenemy, Professor James Moriarty is having problems of his own. Implicated in the murder of a gang leader, Moriarty and his second, Moran, must go on the run from the police in order to find out who is behind the set-up.
But their investigation puts them in the way of Holmes and Watson and it’s not long before all four realise that they are being targeted by the same person. With lives on the line, not just their own, they must form an uneasy alliance in order to unmask the true villain. With clues leading them to a hotel in Switzerland and a conspiracy far greater than any of them expected, who can be trusted – and will anyone of them survive?

London
Oh the city of Sherlock!
This is a wonderful visit around Sherlock’s London but with a twist.
There’s a journey over to a hotel in Switzerland too and we fly across Paris to get there. But it’s London that shines.
Booktrailer Review
Actor George Reynolds is mystified when he notices his audience is the same every night only in different disguises. It’s all very strange and sinister but great to read about and this was a great premise for a Sherlock adventure.
Two POVs so two versions of what is happening – twists and turns aplenty- horror too…now that is what I call an adventure!
It goes beyond what you might expect from a Sherlock novel but that is meant to be a compliment. Gareth has put his own stamp on things and how!
I think the book could have been longer – I certainly wanted to know more!
