A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

For over a century, the secrets of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's missing diary have lain buried. Now all that's about to change ...

Victorian London: As the world mourns the demise of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes at the foot of the Reichenbach Falls, Conan Doyle has a new preoccupation. A chance encounter has set him on the trail of a brutal killer who is targeting vulnerable suffragettes, and together with his associate Bram Stoker, Conan Doyle roams the dark streets of Victorian London searching for a desperate murderer who's determined to evade capture ...

Modern-day New York: Literary researcher Harold White's lifelong obsession with Sherlock Holmes turns into something far more sinister. The world's leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel room, and only Harold is familiar enough with the arcane mysteries of the Holmes novels to recognise the clues the killer has left. Clues which will lead him not only to a murderer prepared to stop at nothing, but also to the mystery of Conan Doyle's missing diary - and a secret that Conan Doyle, a hundred years earlier, risked everything to hide ...

'What irresistible fun! As the literary intrigue deepens, with Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, and some brainy Sherlock Holmes buffs as partners in crime, you don't have to be Holmes to deduce that The Holmes Affair is a serpentine delight for anyone who loves mystery and historical suspense.' Rupert Holmes

"It must be said of Graham Moore that he has his methods. Ingenious and amusing ones, too. You will enjoy their elucidation even if you are not a committed Sherlockian. The game's afoot!" Christopher Hitchens
