Publisher's Synopsis
Someone murdered a university student.
They found him lying in his bed. Dead. His head smashed by a cricket bat.
The local police arrest another student, claiming it was a case of jealous rage over the affections of a beautiful girl.
The arrested student's formidable mother demands Sherlock Holmes prove her son's innocence. Holmes investigates and deduces that several people had reason to commit murder. At least one of them is also prepared to murder him.
This new mystery is a tribute to the original Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier. Like that story, it is told directly by Sherlock Holmes himself. So, order it now and enjoy MORE SHERLOCK.
