Synopsis

The diary-style narrative places Holmes in 1878, working in Dr Joseph Bell’s laboratory at the University of Edinburgh, after leaving a London medical school. Doyle and Holmes accompany Bell to Chicago, where Bell lectures and demonstrates surgical technique with Doyle assisting.

As events unfold, Holmes applies observation and medical diagnosis to a death on the street, while Doyle becomes involved with local medical students. Their investigations lead them towards a plot by ex-Confederate officers to assassinate the president and seize control of the United States, alongside episodes that include an encounter with Robert Louis Stevenson, an abduction by the James gang, and a perilous hot air balloon ride. Suitable for readers interested in Holmes-inspired historical adventures.
