"Here is another wonderful Sherlock Holmes Pastiche from the prolific pen of Val Andrews. The author has a vast knowledge of conjuring and of Sherlockiana and in this exciting mystery he is able to combine both of his lifelong interests." "The Egyptian Hall, Maskelyne's theatre of mystery, forms the perfect backdrop for this the most exciting and unusual adventure ever embarked upon by the famous sleuth and his faithful Boswell, Dr. Watson." "The loss of an article of great value - the property of a titled lady - by a conjurer during the course of a stage trick is but the prelude to intrigue, mystery and murder most foul. But hush we can say no more...the game is afoot! Be sure that you are fully prepared for adventure before jumping into a hansom and returning to an age when the old Queen was still upon her throne and the fogs swirled through Baker Street." "Here is a real scorpion of a story with a sting in its tail to confound all concerned save Sherlock Holmes!" "Should you wish to receive details of other Sherlock Holmes books in advance of publication please contact the publishers at the address below."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes pastiches; some are better than others and yet none match the quality of the original stories. So I do not judge the pastiches against the originals ... that would just be wrong. This one is much better than many I've read, as far as the story goes.
I'd recommend it to people who enjoy these kinds of stories, or to those who have read the originals and want something a little different. It's a very small book, but the story will keep you entertained. ( )
