A Study in Crimson, Robert J. Harris

Not content with reinvigorating Richard Hannay of ‘The Thirty Nine Steps’. Harris now turns his attention to the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. The adventures of Harris’ Holmes (based on Basil Rathbone’s film portrayal) take place during WWII.

In a blacked-out London a Victorian era horror is unfolding. Has the Ripper really returned from the dead? Holmes and Watson, summoned by Lestrade race to prevent more killings; aided by American journalist Gail Prescott and (courtesy of Mycroft) suave intelligence officer Phillip Raynor. Whilst others run for the air raid shelters, Holmes and Watson attempt to unmask a calculating enemy as bombs fall around them.
