Synopsis

It’s the autumn of 1890, and a spate of bombings has hit London. The newspapers are full of fevered speculation about anarchists, antimonarchists and Fenians. But one man suspects an even more sinister hand behind the violence. Sherlock Holmes believes Professor Moriarty is orchestrating a nationwide campaign of terror, but to what end? At the same time, a bizarrely garbed figure has been spotted on the rooftops and in the grimy back alleys of the capital. He moves with the extraordinary agility of a latter-day Spring-heeled Jack. He possesses weaponry and armor of unprecedented sophistication. He is known only by the name Baron Cauchemar, and he appears to be a scourge of crime and villainy. But is this masked man truly the force for good that he seems? Is he connected somehow to the bombings? Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson are about to embark on one of their strangest and most exhilarating adventures yet.

Much like Sherlock Holmes, Batman is often hailed as the World’s Greatest Detective. Now I freely admit that I primarily know The Bat through film and TV, so I’m not entirely sure how he’s gained this title. You don’t see many Batman locked-room mysteries; The Joker and The Riddler are normally very......more

Goodreads review by Elaine

This was a real romp! A really enjoyable rollercoaster of a read. James Lovegrove has an enviable imagination, including a talent for building imaginary Rube Goldbergesque steampunk machines of war or adventure, with a big dash of dash of Jules Verne in there, too. Holmes and Watson are up against a......more
