The Consulting Detective Trilogy Part II: On Stage:

by Darlene A. Cypser

Overview

Disowned by his father and sent down by his college, a penniless Sherlock Holmes seeks refuge with his brother Mycroft in London. Soon a fellow student introduces him to a mysterious world of magic and deception which will teach him skills he will use throughout his detective career -- the world of the theater. Kidnappers and a murderous attack at the stage door in London, police corruption in New York, train robbers in Nebraska, and hoodlums and shanghaiers in San Francisco are among the many challenges young Sherlock Holmes faces.

Editorial Reviews

Cypser produces a convincing and intriguing plot to explain how Holmes's stage career might have come about, skilfully weaving in details from the canon, whilst introducing new characters and inventively expanding on the background of others. That the author has done considerable historical research is evident: ... scenes are set in rich and vivid detail. ... [M]oments of suspense and rescue are balanced with quieter moments of introspection, making for an enjoyable read.
