A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

A Brutal Killer

Sherlock Holmes' famous creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has a new obsession: a brutal killer who is preying on young and vulnerable women. Conan Doyle is roaming the dark streets of Victorian London hunting a man who is determined to evade capture.

A Missing Diary

As his search continues, Conan Doyle records the clues the killer leaves behind in a private diary - a diary that, 100 years later, has never been found.

A Deadly Secret

Enter Sherlock Holmes fanatic Harold White, who must find the missing diary - and in so doing discover a secret that Conan Doyle risked everything to hide...

'Every clue is cast exactly as the pipe-smoking master would have done it in Baker Street, and each is clear to the reader - if only they are clever enough to deduce it.' Daily Mail

'A brilliantly executed must-read' Matthew Pearl, author of The Dante Club

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From the Academy Award winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game comes this thrilling Sherlockian adventure.

'The Holmes Affair is a brilliantly executed must-read for all admirers of historical fiction, Sherlock Holmes and intellectual mysteries. Engrossing, suspenseful and fast-paced, this debut novel manages to be both highly original as well as deeply reverential to its literary sources. It's difficult to find a new spin on Sherlock Holmes, but Graham Moore has pulled it off with flying colors' Matthew Pearl, author of The Dante Club

'A delight, and you don't need to be a Holmes buff to enjoy it' Daily Mail
