    <body><![CDATA[This is without a doubt one of my favorite non-canonical Sherlock Holmes stories, and one of the only stories that truly dares to explore The Great Detective's psyche.

    <body><![CDATA[A lively Holmes tale using the premise that Holmes' cocaine habit has led him to fevered imaginations, including the idea that Moriarity is his arch-enemy. <br/>Not so! Moriarity was Holmes' tutor as a child, and tragic events from that time have traumatized Holmes all his life.

    <body><![CDATA[An entertaing hybrid of historical fiction and fan fiction, great for holmes fans.  Not only does Meyer weave together almost a century's worth of Holmes scholarship to integrate his story with Doyle's original works, he's able to write the account in a style similar to Doyle's.  The chase scene, es...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23887503">more...</a>]]></body>
