London, 1922: Two years after helping Sherlock Holmes solve the
Hangman Murders, American journalist Enoch Hale becomes even more
intimately involved in another puzzling mystery. Langdale Pike,
veteran purveyor of gossip to the trash newspapers, is poisoned while
sipping tea with Hale - and apparently just as he is about to spill a
secret more important than social gossip. With the unrequested aid of
advertising copywriter Dorothy Sayers, Hale pursues a number of leads
based on notes in Pike's pocket diary - including an interview with
the formidable G.K. Chesterton. His attempts to uncover the identity
of one of Pike's fellow club membersbring Hale the unwanted attention
of Mycroft Holmes, head of His Majesty's Secret Service, and of his
younger brother. Once again Enoch Hale and the theoretically retired
but far from retiring Sherlock Holmes join forces to solve a crime
that may have international complications. And this time Hale himself
almost becomes a victim when he gets too close to the solution. This
fast-moving tale is sure to please themany fans of the first Enoch
Hale - Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Amateur Executioner.
