The message is enough to shock Smoky back to work, back to her FBI team. The killer videotaped his latest crime–an act of horror that left a child motherless–then sent a message addressed to Agent Smoky Barrett. And he’s issued Smoky a direct challenge, coaxing her back from the brink with the only thing that could convince her to live. In all her years at the Bureau, Smoky has never encountered anyone like him–a new and fascinating kind of monster, a twisted genius who defies profilers’ attempts to understand him. Because for a woman who’s lost everything, what is there left to lose? She dreams about placing the cold steel between her lips and pulling the trigger one last time. Now Smoky dreams about picking up her weapon again. Turning the tables on the killer, Smoky shot him dead–but her life was shattered forever. She was one of the best–until a madman terrorized her family, killed her husband and daughter, and left her face scarred and her soul brutalized.

Once, Special Agent Smoky Barrett hunted serial killers for the FBI. In this deftly researched and immersive novel, based on real historical events, the great Sherlock Holmes stakes his flag in modern history in the turbulent early years of a rising Japan buffeted by the winds of change. Together with Hirobumi Ito, the first Prime Minister of Japan, the two unlikely allies immerse themselves in a knotted tangle of politics, deceit, and great powers. In steps Sherlock Holmes-on the run from the British police and presumed to be dead. The Otsu Incident, as this came to be known, led to fear of an international incident, perhaps even a declaration of war from Russia. In 1891, Nicholas Alexandrovich, the Tsarevich of Russia, was traveling in a fragile Meiji-era Japan on an official tour when he was almost assassinated.
Where did Sherlock Holmes go during his famous disappearance between his death at Reichenbach Falls and reappearance in Baker Street, three years later? God of mystery Keisuke Matsuoka contends that it was in the Far East-in Japan, to be exact. Therefore it sells for a small fortune in the collectors market. This book was published in a very small edition by a specialty press, is now out of print, and I gather that very few current owners are willing to part with their copies.

Be sure that they solve the mystery, weeding through the many suspects and the hat full of clues that seem to point in every direction. Mulvane brings him the eerie news, embarking on yet another intensive criminal investigation at yet another English manor with his faithful assistant Dr. Of course Pons sees through that blind so soon as Mr. Solar Pons Versus the Devil's Claw is a grand story, harking back somewhat to The Hound of the Baskervilles, hinting as it does of death at the hands of supernatural agencies. Out of Basil Copper's many stories continuing August Derleth's detective Solar Pons (himself a pastiche of Sherlock Holmes), he offers only this single novel. Believing in the innocence of his client, Pons perseveres and eventually uncovers an astoundingly diabolical conspiracy.
The problem is that only Hugh Mulvane has any obvious motive for wanting the old man dead. Pons interrogates the odd cast of characters: Peters, the estate manager and his drop-dead gorgeous wife, Sarita Mulvane's girlfriend Sybil Masterson Vincent Tidmarsh, the music master at a nearby college and even the maid, Angela. It is subsequently discovered that though the body was fully clothed when found, the man had been stark naked when he was killed! Bizarre footprints left near the body resemble devil's feet, thus raising the specter of the Legend of the Devil's Claw. Nevertheless, one cold winter night the old man left the manor and was later found dead in the family mausoleum. Simon Hardcastle was a hermit who almost never left his home, Chalcroft Manor, and was resentful when his nephew Hugh left it as well. Hugh Mulvane comes to Pons and Parker at 7B Praed Street to tell them the truly lurid tale of the life and death of his creepy uncle, whom he is now accused of having murdered.
