In Son of Holmes, John Lescroart introduced Auguste Lupa, reputed son of the greatest detective of all time... and possessor of a brilliant deductive mind in his own right. Now, in Rasputin’s Revenge, Lupa is summoned to the court of the Russian Czar — where, with a bit of unexpected assistance from none other than Holmes and Watson, he untangles a chilling plot that holds the Winter Palace in a lethal grip.... Praise for Son of Holmes and John Lescroart “A riveting thriller.” —Booklist “Detective fans will lap up the details of Lupa’s [Holmesian] heritage.” —Publishers Weekly “Raymond Chandler once wrote that the test of a first-rate murder mystery is whether you would keep reading it if the last chapter — and the revelation of whodunit — were missing. In the matter of John Lescroart, I would keep reading any of his books, even without that last chapter.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Amusing and intriguing.” —Los Angeles Herald-Examiner

"I preferred this to the first book in the series due to the larger cast of characters and interweaving of real history into the story." — Troy (4 out of 5 stars)
"I preferred this to the first book in the series due to the larger cast of characters and interweaving of real history into the story."
" I love Sherlock Holmes and there is a hint of him in this but not quite enough to thoroughly interest me. To be fair, I haven't read "Son of Holmes" which was the first book introducing the main character so maybe that made a difference. It had moments of real excitement but I was hoping for more. "
" I read this immediatley after Son of Holmes. I love the character dynamics. "
" Light historical confection. "
" An absolutely thrilling read. Full of turns and ever unpredictable. A very satisfying book. Five stars. "
" The second book in a series, but it works fine as a stand-alone novel. It was interesting, and I enjoyed the concept of following the son of Sherlock Holmes, but I knew who the murderer was right away. "
John Lescroart is the author of numerous crime thrillers, including the Dismas Hardy series, of which several novels were New York Times bestsellers. His novel Dead Irish was a finalist for the Shamus Award, just one of many awards he has received for his fiction.
