The new novel by NBA All-Star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, starring brothers
Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes.
It is 1873, and as the economies of Europe threaten to crumble, Mycroft
Holmes finds himself in service to the Crown once again. A distant
relative of Queen Victoria has been slain by the Fire Four Eleven
killer, a serial murderer who leaves no mark upon his victims, only a
mysterious calling card. Meanwhile, Sherlock has already taken it upon
himself to solve the case as his interest in the criminal mind grows
into an obsession.
Mycroft begrudgingly allows Sherlock to investigate, as Ai Lin--the
woman he is still in love with--needs his aid. Her fiancé has been
kidnapped, and the only man who might know his fate is a ruthless arms
dealer with a reputation for killing those who cross him. Mycroft
persuades his friend Cyrus Douglas to help find the young man, but
Douglas himself is put in harm's way.
As Sherlock travels the country on the hunt for the Fire Four Eleven
murderer, both he and Mycroft will discover that the greed of others is
at the root of the evil they are trying to unearth....
