Holmes transfers to another school and Watson gives him an antique pipe that he bought during the investigations as a Christmas/farewell present. Elsewhere in the city, a hooded figure with a blowgun shoots two men with thorns that induce nightmarish hallucinations, causing their apparent suicides. Holmes brings his suspicions of foul play to Scotland Yard detective Lestrade, who rebuffs him. Ova knjiga zanimljiva je pre svega kao primer toga šta može da se desi kad novelizaciju vrlo osrednjeg scenarija uzme da radi neko ko voli i ko smatra da vredi obaviti taj posao pošteno. Alan Arnold se potrudio da u što većoj meri reprodukuje stil Artura Konana Dojla, ali je istovremeno unosio (barem pretpostavljam da je on) neke savremene društvenokritične akcente, aluzije na konkretne Dojlove priče, uz par junačkih iako ne baš uspelih pokušaja da zakrpi najvidljivije logičke propuste scenarija (kriminalnoj obradi Šerlokovog lika ništa nije moglo da pomogne). Možda je najzabavnije što je uneo ničim izazvani poduži segment o istoriji Egipta koji je - za razliku od funkcije Egipta i egipatskih motiva u filmu - uglavnom veran istorijskim činjenicama.The thing that was most important to me was why Holmes became so cold and calculating, and why he was alone for the rest of his life," Mr. Columbus explains.

However, I think Lane goes a bit overboard in presenting these 'early influences'. Assuming that he's planning on writing several of these prequels (which I assume, since the first two have only taken up a couple of months in Holmes's early life), I don't see that there's any need for so many of them to have appeared in just these first two books - life is rarely so pat.Walter Sparrow as Ethan Engel, Curiosity Shop Owner, who Holmes, Watson and Elizabeth consult during their investigations and sells Watson Holmes' pipe Lots of great information in this book about railroad trains. And hot air balloons. Count Von Zeppelin makes an appearance. Why couldn't this have connected to a real story about something that mattered? The Baron is the mastermind behind the mystery of the Death Cloud, and because of serious injuries sustained by him at the Charge of the Light Brigade his locomotion is achieved in a unique way, akin to a puppet (his servants control strings attached to his limbs).
