Sherlock Holmes joins forces with his faithful companion Dr Watson
in a new adventure story, set in 1911 in a fog-bound London. The
story offers an alternative explanation about the fate of the RMS
Titanic and is based partly on fiction and on fact and will delight
lovers of the Titanic mystery and fans of the Sherlock Holmes
stories. Written in the style of Conan Doyle, The Iron Mausoleum -
a case of Sherlock Holmes and the Titanic is - with permission
obtained from the Conan Doyle Estate - based on the characters and
places created by Conan Doyle and therefore are familiar - if
interpreted slightly differently. The story begins when Sir James
Walter, the Head of the Marine Department at the Admiralty, visits
Holmes in Baker Street. He tells of the suspicious death of a clerk
who worked in the Admiralty offices in Whitehall and tries to
persuade a reluctant Holmes to investigate. Eventually Holmes
agrees and with Watson are drawn into a world of criminal
conspiracy and murder. We are taken on a journey with Holmes and
Watson and witness Holmes' forensic application to solving the
mystery of the sinking of the Titanic. Beginning in the atmospheric
fog bound streets of London and then Brookwood Necropolis to the
Titanic at the Herculaneum Dock in Liverpool and back to London.
From scoundrels encountered in the infamous Colony Room Club to
wealthy financiers and an American heiress the clues unfold. Told
with conviction and humour, the author totally immerses us in this
Holmesian world of the early 1900s. The book includes a map of
Holmes' London allowing the reader to re-trace the footsteps of
Holmes and Watson on their various journeys through the fog-bound
Metropolis. Drawings by the author of some of the buildings, which
feature in the novel, giving the reader vital clues in solving the
mystery.
