Philip Gilbert was a true Holmes fanatic, from his antiquated décor to his vintage wardrobe. And no mere fan of fiction's great detective, but a leading expert with a collection of priceless memorabiliaa collection some would kill for. And perhaps someone did: In his collection is a century-old manuscript purportedly written by Holmes himselfa manuscript that eerily echoes details of Gilbert's own murder. Now, with the help of her partner, Al Hawkin, Kate must follow the convoluted trail of a killerone who may have trained at the feet of the greatest mind of all times.

    I received the book and packaged ok. The item description was accurate except the cover (a paperback) has in inch tear in the cover which doesn't hurt the reading and doesn't bother me. I would not hesitate to purchase again from this seller. Thanks!
