Publisher's summary

Why Meiringen? Sherlock Holmes fans have always asked why did Holmes go to Meiringen? And did Moriarty follow him there? And if Holmes did not die in the Falls, what happened next? The familiar stories tell us little. For the first time, this book gives us the answers we've always wanted.

Johanna Rieke's careful and detailed research and understanding of the region show what really happened and how Holmes escaped, only to reappear three years later in London. If Moriarty is now dead, however, his evil work goes on.

In London, Holmes and Watson, drawn into an apparently meaningless murder in the Crystal Palace in South London, soon recognise that much more is at stake. How are a greengrocer's shop, a dockyard pub in East London, a tattooed seaman, and a mysterious German all involved, and who is Moriarty’s shadowy successor?

Only Holmes and Watson, in a desperate search and by sharp deduction, can hope at the last moment to foil a disaster. Can they prevent many innocent deaths and protect Britain’s standing in the world? Even as the story ends, they know that their fight against evil will go on, and that Moriarty’s successors are always alert, a constant threat. As this exciting book makes clear, Holmes’ task never ends.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

The book by Johanna Rieke is another great new Sherlock Holmes story with a mix of some old elements. The narration by Michael Langan is wonderful. His performance breathes life into the characters and the story.

Holmes for the win

You have to admire seeing how Holmes processes information and his thinking process. It's a thing of beauty to see him at work. I'm a huge fan, and this was intriguing and held my interest. Cracking the code drove me nuts!!! It seems the local police are a tad inept, but thanks to Holmes persistent in other directions tragedy is averted. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

A 5* star piece of entertainment

One of the best Holmes stories..
I think Conan Doyle would approve.
It has everything a Holmes book should have.
Superbly narrated.

Very interesting Story

Johanna Rieke has crafted an interesting story while re-visiting certain aspects of earlier Holmes stories. Michael Langan’s performance is top-notch, especially his Sherlock.

Maze of Knife Sharpener

Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson have several adventures, that are rather interlocking, but maybe seen independently. All are enjoyable and makes one to want more. Love them.
