Death Cloud by Andrew Lane
Sherlock Holmes The Legend Begins
308 pages
I am not a Sherlock Holmes fan...not that I don't like him. Just never really got into it. But I truly enjoyed this book. This is Sherlock's first 'case', and tells how he fell in love with the investigative process. The background was rich with details, the characters full of life. Guys are going to love this series!
(from back of book)
A teenage Sherlock solves his first murder mystery.
A cloud of smoke began to rise from the object just as Sherlock recognized it for what it was: a man's body, lying twisted on the ground. The smoke wafted away, driven by the breeze, but there was no sign of fire. For a moment Sherlock thought the man was lying there smoking a pipe, his face wrapped for some reason in a red-spotted white handkerchief, but as he got closer he realized that the red blotches were neither markings on a toadstool not spots on a white handkerchief.
They were bloody boils on the face of a corpse.
