Sherlock Holmes & The Mystery of M *signed*

August 1894. Pall Mall Gazette journalist Judah Philemon Stanton, longtime friend of Dr. John Watson, is visiting 221 B Baker Street when an unexpected visitor arrives—Dr. Jack Seward (from Bram Stoker’s Dracula) who is searching for his missing friend, the Texan Quincey Morris. Within minutes of Holmes taking the case, word arrives from Scotland Yard of the brutal murder of the Chancellor of the Exchequer by what appears to be a wolf.
Narrated by Judah Stanton, Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of M is part thriller, part horror story, and part exposé on the complicated relationship between Holmes and Watson and the lengths the good doctor went to in protecting his friend, especially when he failed.
Modeled on the four Conan Doyle novellas—with an extended backstory taking place in Wyoming narrated by ex–Texas Ranger Quincey Morris—this prequel to Three Gothic Doctors and Their Sons honors the classic source material while bringing readers of the Sherlock Holmes stories and Dracula new insights, new characters, and new adventures.
