Publisher's Synopsis
In 1901, during one of the hottest summers in recent memory, London is experiencing some 'cold' killings. The victims are being ritualistically mutilated. As chance would have it, the first victim was a potential client of Mr. Sherlock Holmes who the great detective failed to assist. Now Holmes and Watson are tracking down the murderers. Fantastically, the entire grisly matter began in the wilds of the Canadian Northwest during the great Klondike Gold Rush. Can the incomparable Sherlock Holmes trap the killers, or will it prove his undoing? As with his first Sherlock Holmes book, The Canadian Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Gaspar has done his research in both history and the canon. Cold-Hearted Murder by Stephen Gaspar is a Sherlock Holmes mystery reminiscent of the classic and iconic style as the very first Holmes tale, A Study in Scarlet.
