“provocative and original” Peter Kavanagh, CBC Radio Producer (The Sunday Edition)
“a truly fascinating character” Paul Negri, former editor-in-chief & president of Dover Publications
In Victorian London’s cesspool of crime and disease, a series of murders remains undiscovered until a cholera victim is found floating in the city’s drinking water supply. Dr Anton Kronberg, England’s best bacteriologist, is called upon to investigate and finds evidence of abduction and medical maltreatment. While Scotland Yard has little interest in pursuing the case, Kronberg pushes on and crosses paths with Sherlock Holmes. The detective immediately discovers Kronberg’s secret – a woman masquerading as a man in order to practice medicine – a criminal deed that could land her in prison for years to come. But both must join forces to stop a crime so monstrous, it outshines Jack the Ripper’s deeds in brutality and cold-bloodedness.
“The Canon has always needed some sorting when it comes to Holmes and Women. Wendeberg is setting the cat among the pigeons with this provocative and original new take on the Holmesian universe.” Peter Kavanagh, CBC Radio Producer (The Sunday Edition)
“Laurie King’s Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes series was one of my favorites, especially the early books but I have to say this interpretation is smashing. Anna Kronberg is a kick-butt heroine…
Suspenseful, authentic yet innovative and faithful to the original Sherlock Holmes character–can’t wish for a better combination. This is a skillful writer and a thinking one, no easy outs and no lazy solutions.” Marik Berghs Book Reviews
“The story is fast-paced, engaging, enjoyably atmospheric, dark, and I’m really fascinated with Anna’s character.” The Stormy Petrels
“Beyond being a fine CSI/Sherlock Holmes style mystery, this is a poignant novel at times almost poetic” … “An unforgettable hero(ine)” Dan Andriacco, best-selling author of Baker Street Beat
