A beautiful, moving detective story set in Auschwitz in the
Christmas of 1943. A young Jewish prisoner... Auschwitz, 1943. It's
snowing outside and Block 10 looks even bleaker than usual. Gioele
Errera, a young Jewish boy imprisoned in the camp, finds the body
of an SS officer. A detective with everything to prove... Hugo
Fischer is sent to investigate the unexplained death of the
renowned Nazi. But Hugo is hiding a secret - he is suffering from a
degenerative disease. The only way for him to survive is to give
his support to the Reich and hide his condition. A confrontation
with pure evil... In Auschwitz, Hugo comes face to face not only
with a complex murder, but with a truth - that of the Final
Solution. And he is forced to decide what is most important to him
- and who, if anyone, he should try to save...
LONDON, 1942. A killer going by the name of 'Crimson Jack' is
stalking the wartime streets of London, murdering women on the
exact dates of the infamous Jack the Ripper killings of 1888. Has
the Ripper somehow returned from the grave? Is the self-styled
Crimson Jack a descendant of the original Jack or merely a madman
obsessed with those notorious killings? In desperation Scotland
Yard turn to Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective.
Surely he is the one man who can sift fact from legend and track
down Crimson Jack before he completes his tally of death. As Holmes
and the faithful Watson tread the blacked out streets of London,
death waits just around the corner. Inspired by the classic film
series from Universal Pictures starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel
Bruce, which updated Sherlock Holmes to the 1940s, this is a brand
new adventure from the acclaimed author of The Thirty-One Kings,
Castle Macnab and the Artie Conan Doyle Mysteries.
