Sherlock in Love

[nice clean copy with no discernible wear, one-time owner's initials plus date & place of purchase written in ink along edge of rear pastedown (concealed beneath rear jacket flap); the jacket itself is flawless]. In this novel, in which Dr. Watson sets out to write a biography of the recently-deceased Great Detective, Ms. Naslund "has cunningly recreted the world of Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Watson, expanding and embroidering upon the long-familiar and beloved tropes to build an engaging, powerful narrative of her own. [The book] takes Watson -- and the reader -- through a gripping series of adventures, involving unearthed diaries, stolen journals, apparitions from the past, characters who are anything but what they seem, and even, in a stunning tour de force, a complete, unknown Sherlock Holmes mystery (in which the renowned duo come to the aid of Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria). Through it all, Watson must find the key to Holmes's most baffling and urgent case -- a case that Holmes himself had suppressed, and whose solution turns on the identity of the mysterious figure who was his one true love."
