A magician never reveals his secrets...

1878

Sherlock Holmes is in a slump of despair and self-doubt following his recent encounter with his brother Mycroft and his good friend Mr Stamford is determined to snap him out of it.

When Stamford hears of a new show being put on at the Egyptian Hall Theatre, he brings Holmes with him for a night of diversion.

But for Holmes, the outing leads to something much more stimulating...

A few days later, a corpse is found inside the cabinet used for one of the conjuror's acts at the theatre, and at first it appears the death was accidental.

But Holmes soon realises it was the result of something more sinister. And lurking beneath the surface of the magician's code of conduct is a murky world of false identities and professional jealousy.

There are secrets in the world of illusion that people would kill to keep hidden...

And if they are not careful, Holmes and Stamford could be the next targets...

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CABINET OF WONDERS is the eighth Victorian crime thriller in the Early Casebook of Sherlock Holmes series.

'Stratmann's measured narrative, reminiscent of Conan Doyle but without ever falling into parody, allows the suspension of disbelief so that we can indeed believe we are reading an undiscovered early work by the master himself. A treat for all fans of the great detective' - Historical Novel Society
