Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell

"Nicholas Meyer’s stirring tale of the turning point of the Great War reveals the pivotal roles of Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. Watson. Solidly based on history, it’s thrilling, full of surprises, yet touchingly poignant in its depiction of the aging partners. Please continue unearthing these lost accounts, Mr. Meyer!" -Leslie S. Klinger, editor, New Annotated Sherlock Holmes

"Nicholas Meyer, a master storyteller, brings Holmes and Watson triumphantly to life during the English, American and Mexican intrigues of the Great War. His witty and riveting mystery, based on a crucial historical event, has a brilliant climax." -Jeffrey Meyers

"For me, Nicholas Meyer has managed the impossible, which is to sound exactly like Arthur Conan Doyle, as he plunges Holmes and Watson into a time in our history when the survival of Britain and the British was under threat. The danger is real and so, by this stage, at any rate for most of us, are Holmes and Watson. The combination is irresistible. It will not surprise the reader that in Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell, the Great Detective surpasses himself." -Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age

"For decades, Nicholas Meyer has held sway as the preeminent author of Sherlockian tales, and Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell demonstrates his strengths in profusion: crisp plotting, rich cultural-political background, many flashes of wit, and an abiding zest for the game." -Alex Ross, bestselling author of The Rest Is Noise

"Another tour-de-force from Nicholas Meyer, once more channelling Conan Doyle to tremendously entertaining effect, this time weaving in a Mexican-American connection which is, remarkably, both true to history and stranger than fiction." -John Collee, screenwriter of Master and Commander

"This is not only another great mystery to solve but a grand adventure." -Bookreporter on The Return of the Pharaoh
