Synopsis

In 1910, Jack London began writing The Assassination Bureau, Ltd. but never finished it; this novel proposes an explanation, framed through a newly discovered manuscript attributed to Dr John Watson. London’s early chapters describe a secret organisation, dismissed or overlooked by the authorities, that sets out to kill influential political and social leaders.

Only when threats strike close to home does Sherlock Holmes intervene, following a trail of plots linked to the deaths of prominent figures, from American Presidents and European heads of state to gangsters and writers. With a timing device counting down and wider stability at risk, Holmes and Watson race to prevent further killings—while the question remains whether, by 1912, the danger has already advanced too far. Suitable for readers of Sherlock Holmes pastiche and historical mystery fiction.
