Publisher Description

Alan Vanneman extends the boundaries of the Sherlock Holmes canon in this crafty new novel featuring the world’s greatest literary detective.

A late-night summons takes Holmes and Dr. Watson from the cozy Victorian comforts of Baker Street on to the Orient Express, where they travel the breadth of Europe to exotic Constantinople. But danger’s afoot, for death, too, is traveling first class.

As Holmes strives to unmask his most cunning, ruthless, and elusive foe, he is transported into a world of high finance rife with intrigue and crime. With a cast of characters that includes historical greats like Winston Churchill as well as a beggar girl whom Watson adopts, Holmes follows a trail that leads ultimately and unpredictably to the fabled and fabulous lost Hapsburg Tiara.

"One of my first few Sherlock Holmes books. I found it very interesting. The relationship between Holmes and Watson is very familial. The quest to find diamonds and return it to its righful owner sends the two on a dangerous excursion halfway around the world. "
— Betty (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

“Narrator Simon Vance adopts the dry, literary tones of a classic Holmes radio drama, imparting wry humor detectable only to listeners paying close attention to the plot…[His] Winston Churchill sounds just like a recording of the man himself.”

Overall Performance:
" I liked the introduction of Watson's adopted daughter but not the portrayal of Watson's character & why didn't Mycroft help out "
— John, 11/1/2013
Overall Performance:
" While I generally enjoyed the book overall, I found it to be more of a Dr. Watson novel than of Sherlock Holmes. And the addition of Dr. Watson's adoptive daughter, Jenny, was as unwelcome as the introduction of precocious youth tends to be (see Scrappy Doo). Still I would consider reading a sequel. "

Overall Performance:
" A nice diversion - Vanneman captures the energy of Holmes that sometimes even Doyle lacked in his later years. "
— Dave, 6/9/2012
Overall Performance:
" long winded. slow paced. showing Watson in a bad light. Holmes is missing in action for a whole lot in the middle. Might as well title it Watson and the Duchess's foot "
