This is a new story, set in the Classic Sherlockian mode, narrated
by Dr. Watson. It begins in the staid confines of a London Club,
and ends up in the heart of Africa. Along the way the reader will
encounter gunplay, intrigue, kidnapping, state secrets, courtesans,
Japanese mystics, African nobles, and some of the most surprising
supporting players in any of Dr. Watson's memoirs. The story starts
with a chance meeting, after many years, of two old friends; Dr.
Watson and Colonel Hugh Pickering. Pickering, of course, is the
very same as may be met in Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. As the mystery
unfolds, we encounter Professor Henry Higgins, and his wife, the
former Eliza Doolittle. The plot, as it develops, centers around
the search for someone from Eliza's past (from her days as a
flower-seller) who seems to have been sold into white slavery. The
old friends (and Old Campaigners) Watson and Pickering are led by
Eliza in a chase that ultimately leads to a very surprising place
and a danger-filled climax. Holmes and Higgins have vital parts in
the unraveling of the multi-layered mystery, which involves secrets
at the highest level of the British Government. It's a great read
for Sherlockians, mystery fans and anyone who enjoys a good story
