Gr 6- 9-Teenage Sherlock Holmes is embroiled in another mystery when he visits his brother Mycroft at his club in London. He discovers Mycroft in a locked room with a dead body, a knife in his hand, and no recollection of what happened. Together with his mentor Amyus Crowe, Sherlock searches for clues that will save his brother from prison. His quest to discover who framed Mycroft leads him through the shady side of London and on to Moscow where he becomes part of a larger, more sinister plot. Narrator James Langston brings all the characters to life-from the Holmes brothers and Crowe to violinist Rufus Stone and the cast of the British acting troupe on tour in Russia. This episode (Farrar, Straus, 2013) will delight fans of Andrew Lane's previous books.-Amanda Rollins, Library Media Specialist, Northwest Village School, Plainville, CT (c) Copyright 2013.
