London, 1922: Two years after helping Sherlock Holmes solve the
Hangman Murders, American journalist Enoch Hale becomes even more
intimately involved in another puzzling mystery. Langdale Pike,
veteran purveyor of gossip to the trash newspapers, is poisoned
while sipping tea with Hale - and apparently just as he is about to
spill a secret more important than social gossip. With the
unrequested aid of advertising copywriter Dorothy Sayers, Hale
pursues a number of leads based on notes in Pike's pocket diary -
including an interview with the formidable G.K. Chesterton. His
attempts to uncover the identity of one of Pike's fellow club
members bring Hale the unwanted attention of Mycroft Holmes, head
of His Majesty's Secret Service, and of his younger brother. Once
again Enoch Hale and the theoretically retired but far from
retiring Sherlock Holmes join forces to solve a crime that may have
international complications. And this time Hale himself almost
becomes a victim when he gets too close to the solution. This
fast-moving tale is sure to please the many fans of the first Enoch
Hale - Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Amateur Executioner.
