Summer 1869, and Sherlock Holmes and his friend Irene celebrate her sixteenth birthday by attending the theater to watch a celebrated magician make a real dragon appear on stage. It is the London sensation. Sherlock and Irene meet the magician, Alistair Hemsworth #x13; just as he is arrested for the murder of his rival, The Wizard of Nottingham. It seems that traces of the missing Wizard#x19;s blood and his spectacles were found in Hemsworth#x19;s secret studio. Hemsworth has a motive: not only is the Wizard his rival, but he also caused a scandal when he lured Hemsworth#x19;s wife away. But is Hemsworth guilty? Sherlock has his doubts, and soon, so does the reader. With humor and plot turns as dizzying as a narrow London lane, Shane Peacock invites his readers into a fascinating world, and a fresh adventure with one of literature#x19;s favorite characters. The Boy Sherlock Holmes series is an international success with readers and reviewers alike.
