Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes is drawn into a boxing match when he is goaded into the ring against Sailor Mackenzie, who loses both the bout and his life. While most accept the death as an accident, Holmes and Watson, joined by Mrs. Hudson, remain unconvinced and travel to McLellan Manor in Yorkshire to sift through a crowded field of suspects with motive and opportunity.

The investigation is complicated when Holmes and Watson are asked to protect Lily Langtry, with Mrs. Hudson taking on the role of her lady’s maid, after threats from her volatile paramour George Baird. As events escalate, Holmes must lead a séance to call on a ghost in pursuit of a 35-year-old murder, while Mrs. Hudson finds herself in an unexpected alliance with the Jersey Lily. Suitable for readers of Sherlock Holmes pastiche and series crime fiction.
