Blast to Oblivion

By Chap O'Keefe

Icily beautiful Flora Bennett declares she has been cheated of a bequest; that the pretty widow of her shotgun-murdered brother and his smooth secretary know more than they are letting on. To clear up the sorry mess of accusation and trickery, ex-Pinkerton detective Joshua Dillard rides to a raw mining-town where the trail of inquiry becomes one of more violence and death

"Mr O'Keefe has reworked the plot of a Sherlock Holmes story as an exploit of his ex-Pinkerton protagonist Joshua Dillard. The result is clever, atmospheric, and exciting." - The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

"The story opens with an epigraph from The Valley of Fear, and with good reason: the book is a western, with plenty of color and atmosphere and violence, and a mystery that will not be a surprise to those who have read and remember Conan Doyle's story." - Peter E. Blau, the Baker Street Irregulars, New York

BONUS FEATURE: "From Deerstalker to Stetson" ... recasting Sherlock Holmes as Joshua Dillard.
