About this ebook

Two brother lawyers square off against a descendant of Professor Moriarty after leasing offices on London's Baker Street in this modern mystery—"Highly original and absolutely marvelous" ( San Francisco Chronicle ).

"An intriguing and original plot, a likeable detective, and a page-turning read." —M. C. Beaton

When brothers Reggie and Nigel Heath choose 221B Baker Street as the location for their law office, they don't expect that their new office space would come with one huge stipulation, answering the letters sent to Sherlock Holmes, the most famous resident of that address.

Reggie is distressed because the love of his life, actress Laura Rankin (whom Nigel also adores), is gallivanting around with media mogul Lord Buxton. And while Reggie is working on a new case involving one of London's Black Cab drivers who is accused of murdering two American tourists, the letters to Sherlock Holmes are piling up. There's even one from someone who claims to be the descendent of Professor James Moriarty . . .

With a case that would have puzzled even Sherlock himself and a pair of brother sleuths more different than night and day, The Brothers of Baker Street is sure to please mystery fans whatever their address.

"A delightful romp . . .The last third of the novel is one of the finest, scariest sequences in current crime fiction . . . For anglophiles, crime-o-philes, and all fans of wonderful writing."― Booklist (starred review)

"An extremely clever evil scheme [that] will delight readers."― Publishers Weekly
