Historical fiction is taken to great new lengths when a young Sherlock Holmes is placed in Washington as the Civil War closes out. But that is only a portion of the entire story...and what a remarkably well told story, it is. True to Sherlock Holmes in every imaginable way, this novel is a page turner, where one finds themsevles re-reading portions at times in order to fully grasp the subtle nuances of J. Lawrence Matthews' bold and satisfying work.
