After a mysterious schooner runs aground in an English harbor with no human passengers -- only the dead captain, drained of blood -- a series of bizarre nocturnal crimes takes place in London. It can only be the work of Count Dracula, and only one man can save the city: the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes.
“I wondered if two such large-scale stories would clash when pulled together but Estleman weaves them together artistically.” –IMP Magazine
“Estelman’s Watson and Holmes are every bit the comic duo of the hit movies starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. And his Holmes is as sharp as the Sherlock of Benedict Cumberbatch in the hit BBC TV series.” – Borg.com
“Estleman captures the language of the Sherlockian canon very well.” – Fiction Addict
“Fun and well-written.” – Ravenous Monster
“a faithful blending of both of these timeless classics” - BookBub
