Here, two areas of mystery are linked: the exploits of Sherlock Holmes and the secrets of master escapologist, Harry Houdini. Doctor Watson's collaborator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, finds himself drawn into the world of the fake psychics and Houdini is anxious for Holmes to unmask the perpetrators who prey on the innocent believers. Holmes's investigations lead him to some surprising locations, including a Ruritanian castle. No library descriptions found. |

The second story is relegated to the world of "what-if," in which Holmes & Watson are visited by Bess Houdini after her husband's untimely death. She wants the duo to prove that Houdini was murdered. Holmes and Watson have to journey to America, then find themselves in trouble in Hungary as the case takes on some bizarre twists. Not quite as good as the first story, but it was still a fun read.
