Through A Glass Starkly: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure
Through A Glass Starkly: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure | Richard T Ryan
13 posts | 4 to read
After surviving an attempt on his life in Paris, Sherlock Holmes returns to London, where the Great Detective is almost immediately enlisted by his brother to secure the safety of the delegates at a top-secret peace conference. With Europe a veritable powder keg in the years before World War I, Holmes understands any misstep on his part could prove fatal and possibly plunge the continent into war.However, after pledging to do his utmost for "King and Country," Holmes suddenly finds himself overwhelmed by an onslaught of cases. An old friend requests his assistance in recovering a priceless manuscript which has gone missing from the British Museum.Accused of accepting bribes from a smuggling ring, Inspector Lestrade, who has been suspended from Scotland Yard, turns to Holmes for help. Add in a beautiful newlywed who claims her husband is trying to murder her, and it is easy to see why Watson compares the tasks confronting his friend to the Labours of Hercules.From a secret pied--terre in the City of Lights, to the Rare Book Room in the British Museum, to the Whispering Gallery in St. Paul's Cathedral, to the waterfront along the Thames, Holmes and Watson find themselves on the trail of an elusive quarry for whom murder is merely another move in an elaborate game of cat-and-mouse.

A good mail day because #bookhaul! 🎉

PSL season also means NaNo prep season and so I thought I‘d give Lisa Cron‘s book a go.

I had also backed #litsyauthor @Richryan52 ‘s Kickstarter for his latest Sherlock book (tagged). It + another one of his Sherlock books arrived today.

And lastly, the complete season one manga of the BBC Sherlock reboot by Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, and Stephen Thompson with art by Jay.

Richryan52 I do hope that you enjoy them! 4y

There are just a few days left in the Kickstarter campaign for Through a Glass Starkly. It has been successful and the publisher is committed to planting 20 trees in Kenya. However, if we get to 150 backers, he will plant 50 trees. Your support would be greatly greatly. You get the book early, save some $ and help plant a tree. Wins all around. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mxpublishing/through-a-glass-starkly-a-sher...

Lestrade suspended, the only copy of the Beowulf manuscript missing and the security of a top-secret peace conference threatened — Sherlock Holmes certainly has a great deal to keep him busy in Through a Glass Starkly. Pre-order now and you‘ll get it early, save some $$ and help a small publisher. Thanks and stay safe. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mxpublishing/through-a-glass-starkly-a-sher...

I‘d like to begin by thanking everyone who helped us get to 100 backers. The publisher will be planting 20 trees in Kenya. He‘s also added some new rewards, including a stand alone PDF for only $8. Check it out and back it if you can and maybe we can more trees planted. Thanks!!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mxpublishing/through-a-glass-starkly-a-sher...

The Kickstarter campaign is doing quite well, and I want to thank everyone who has backed the book. My publisher just added a new “stretch goal.” If we can get to 100 backers, he will plant 20 trees in Kenya. If you go to the link and click the update tab, you can see a short video about the trees. Thanks and stay safe. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mxpublishing/through-a-glass-starkly-a-sher...

Father‘s Day is June 21. If you are looking for a unique gift for Dad — forget ties and slippers — why not make him a character in my next book, Three May Keep a Secret. It is the last reward in the Kickstarter campaign, but only two spots remain. Check it out and stay safe. Thanks.
