DEBUT OF THE MONTH

STARRED REVIEW

October 1, 2018

In 1888, Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle has published just one story, "A Study in Scarlet," and vows never to write another crime account.

Then he receives a note from former prime minister William Gladstone, asking him to come to London. All of London is concerned with the

Whitechapel killer they call "Leather Apron," and Gladstone's secretary proposes that Conan Doyle consult with the Metropolitan police to help

them catch the murderer. He agrees, but on the condition that his former professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, the model for Sherlock Holmes,

consults as well. Margaret Harkness, a journalist who writes as John Law, acts as their guide to the East End as the three grow dangerously

close to the man now known worldwide as Jack the Ripper. The richly detailed, intense debut mystery features a cast of real people who conceivably

could have come together in the most intense manhunt in London up until then. The intricately plotted story is worthy of Conan Doyle himself, with

language and characters reminiscent of the Holmes canon and foreshadowing of the author's future work.

VERDICT: This compelling debut will have wide appeal, attracting readers of Jack the Ripper fiction,

Sherlock Homes fans, and anyone who appreciates real-life people as sleuths.—LESA HOLSTINE, EVANSVILLE VANDERBURGH P.L., IN
