Very droll. W. G. Grace teams up with Dr. Watson, still mourning the recent loss of Holmes, to try and unravel a world-threatening mystery a year after the end of the War of the Worlds with the help of, among others, Oscar Wilde, Jules Verne and Dr Jekyll and a gang of French impressionists. The end result is somewhat in the vein of Adams or Pratchett but with greater depth.
Fun read when one is growing weary of books on spies.
"Very, very funny...the mixture of truth, humour, vulgarity and honesty relegates this book to the bestseller league" - The Economist (backcover)
