"The Holmes saga continues to exert its perennial fascination. Here we have no palid pastiche of the master but a highy original tour de force which combines the thrills of the mystery novel with intellectual excitement and imaginative breadth. And how well Mr. Hall re-creates for us the ambiene of Victorian London. It is a pleasure to reisit old haunts and meet old friends in his company."--P.D. James.
