Synopsis

A stunning Dr Watson thriller perfect for all fans of Sherlock.

The year is 1917 and Doctor John Watson is held in a notorious POW camp deep in enemy Germany, there as Medical Officer for the British prisoners.

With the Allied blockade, food is perilously short in the camp and when a new prisoner is murdered all assume the poor chap was killed for his Red Cross parcel.

Watson, though, isn't so sure.

Something isn't quite what it seems and a creeping feeling of unease tells Watson there is more to this than meets the eye. And when an escape plot is apparently uncovered in his hut and he is sent to solitary confinement, he knows he has touched a nerve.

If Watson is to reveal the heinous crimes that have occurred at the camp, he must escape before he is silenced for good. All he needs is some long-distance help from his old friend, Sherlock Holmes…

In the meantime, others, including Sherlock Holmes, attempt to have him freed. This is an exciting adventure story - implausible, but not risible - and a lot......more

Třetí díl série a po slabším druhém dílu opět velmi dobrá knížka. Vrací se zde několik postav z prvního i druhého dílu, rozběhnuté děje do sebe začínají zapadat a také se poprvé (alespoň co jsem si vědoma) více pracuje s odkazy na původními Doylovy texty. Ostatně v originále se kniha jmenuje A Study......more

Goodreads review by Rob

I really wanted to like this book but I was ready to put it down each time I picked it up. It didn't help that this is the 3rd book in the series and that I didn't know that when I started reading it. It felt like a conclusion of a story that I was uneducated about and I felt like I should have been......more
