Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure Of The American Scalawag

In 1887 on his way to prison, the convicted murderer, Vincent Louder Lovelace, was killed in a horrific collision in London between a police wagon and an omnibus. Though Lovelace never kept his date with the hangman, his accidental death resulted in justice being served. Or so the authorities continued to believe until the arrival at 221B Baker Street of the American author, Julian Hawthorne, son of the famous writer Nathaniel Hawthorne. Julian informs Sherlock Holmes that the dead man is not only alive and well, but also innocent of murder. As Holmes begins to uncover incriminating facts, he is confronted by deadly threats from the real killer who insists such details must remain hidden. In the end, Holmes and Dr. Watson can only hope that their wits and an erratic Julian Hawthorne will enable them to identify the true perpetrator of the grisly crime.
