A STUDY IN SYNCHRONICITY weaves an English murder mystery set in
1906 into the framework of a modern-day whodunit. The contemporary
plot begins when American writer Todd Stringer wins a writing
contest for his short story set in turn-of-the century London. Not
only does the story feature the Sherlock Holmes-like detective
Corliss Simms, but it also echoes the language of Simms's
celebrated but long-dead creator, the Conan Doyle-like Sir Reginald
Bertrand Dunbarton. As Todd's real life oddly begins to parallel
murderous aspects of his own crime story, he becomes more
intertwined in his fictional narrative than he could ever have
imagined. For just after the publication of his story is halted,
the executor of Dunbarton's estate turns up murdered in the same
manner as the victim in Todd's fictional story, and Todd finds
himself the target of an actual murder investigation. What began as
an attempt to get his story published becomes, with the help of a
lovely young woman he meets in England, a quest to find the real
murderer, a quest which takes on added urgency as he tries to
eliminate himself as the prime suspect.
