Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. 2nd printing. [a nice copy, no significant wear to book, tiny finger-smudge on top edge of text block, previous owner's name and date & place of purchase in ink at top of front endpaper; the jacket is very slightly rubbed, still bright and attractive]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by editor… Wright ("May the game always be afoot for you - ") on the half-title page, and by editor Hodel ("Best Mycroftian wishes") on the title page. In the vein of the considerably more successful "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution," this purports to be a posthumously-uncovered memoir by the older (and "no less intelligent") brother of Sherlock Holmes. In the course of this adventure, "we meet young Sherlock at work during the budding of his career as he and his brother become embroiled in a plot to overthrow the American government and restore the Confederacy under British rule. The conspiracy, punctuated with spies, counterspies, murder, kidnapping, and a direct threat to the British government, eventually comes to involve William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli as we follow the brothers Holmes through Victorian London." Signed by Editor. Illustrated by (dj) Alex Mambach (illustrator).
