Description

|
Also the author of two books in the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies series, Steve Hockensmith here returns to his Edgar, Shamus, Anthony, and Nero Award–nominated mystery series starring Old Red and Big Red Amlingmeyer, two down-on-their-luck cowboys with dreams of becoming great detectives like their hero Sherlock Holmes. In this rollicking fifth outing, the boys travel to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago to go head-to-head with a number of famous detectives in a "mystery cracking contest" and see who will succeed Holmes—now that he's plunged to his death in The Final Problem—as the World's Greatest Sleuth. "Wouldn't you know, the competition soon turns deadly serious, and Otto and Gustav are hot on the trail of a murderer. The novel is a delicate balance of mystery and humor, and its two leads, the brothers Amlingmeyer, are a real treat for fans of lighthearted mysteries. Holmesians, too, will get a kick out of Hockensmith's frequent nods to the Great Detective."—Booklist
