Synopsis
In 1912, Holmes and Watson board the Titanic en route to America, where Holmes is to carry out a top secret government mission.
Disguised as a Naval Commodore, Holmes is given the added task of looking after Christine Norton - a young and attractive secret agent - as she transports highly important submarine plans to the US navy. Soon after departure, tragedy strikes and the plans are stolen and concealed somewhere on board the huge luxury liner. The list of suspects is narrowed down to a most curious collection of passengers including a beautiful widow with an undisguised interest in Dr Watson. Most notable of them all is Colonel James Moriarty, brother of the legendary late Professor Moriarty.
As the investigation continues and the plot thickens the Titanic moves swiftly across the Atlantic towards New York. But out in the distance there is a place where the sky is dark and the water is bitterly cold. A gigantic iceberg waits, ready to take on and master mankind's latest challenge to the power of nature.

From School Library Journal
YA. It was a dark and stormy night in 1912 when Dr. John Watson was called out of retirement to join his friend Sherlock Holmes on board the Titanic. They were to travel to America to carry out a top-secret government mission. While on board, Holmes, disguised as a Naval Commodore, is to look after a young secret agent who is transporting important submarine plans to the U.S. Navy. The plans are stolen, corpses appear, the investigation proceeds, and all the while the ship moves across the Atlantic toward what the passengers think is a New York City dock?but readers know differently. Long-time fans will welcome another adventure with Holmes and Watson and, given the current level of interest in the Titanic disaster, even teens who haven't read Conan Doyle's works will enjoy this story.?Patricia Noonan, Prince William Public Library,

Review
Sir Conan Doyle's Holmes protagonist comes alive in a new plot which uses the Titanic's sinking as a backdrop for mystery. Here Holmes and sidekick are called out of retirement to travel to America on board the Titanic on a secret assignment for the British government. International intrigue involves the two as the ship plunges toward a watery destiny. -- Midwest Book Review
