Fourteen-year-old Sherlock Holmes knows that Amyus Crowe, his mysterious
American tutor, has some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find John
Wilkes Booth, the notorious assassin, apparently alive and well in
England--and Crowe somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the
truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself. And
so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the Atlantic, to
the center of a deadly web--where a friend is in peril and a defeated
army threatens to rise again.
Andrew Lane's exciting second case for the teenage Sherlock leads the
young detective to America, straight into the heart of a shocking
conspiracy.
