Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are back - this time to try and catch the Ripper.

Only a few short years ago the monster known as Jack the Ripper held the East End of London in a grip of terror.

Now there are rumours that the Ripper has returned.

Three respectable young women have been slaughtered in Mayfair, the city's most respectable and exclusive district.

But instead of consulting Sherlock Holmes, the official police prefer to seek advice from Dr. Karl Schermann.

And while the flamboyant German enjoys official approval and public acclaim, Holmes sits at home, brooding.

But when another woman is murdered, Holmes decides to take matters into his own hands.

Before Holmes can bring the Mayfair murderer to justice, however, he must uncover the truth about Dr. Karl Schermann…

Can Holmes and his faithful sidekick Dr Watson unmask the killer?

Or will the Ripper once again slip away into obscurity…?

The year is 1912.

Sherlock Holmes is called out of retirement by brother Mycroft, acting on behalf of the British Government, to investigate a break-in at the Norfolk home of a wealthy German financier, Sir Edward Muster.

Holmes is soon at work dismantling a German spy ring, but the investigation is quickly clouded by his suspicions concerning Mycroft’s pivotal role in those events.

What agenda is Mycroft pursuing?

What is the truth behind the loss of the fishing vessels the Misty Jane and the Yarmouth Adventuress in the North Sea?

And why is the Royal Navy seemingly operating incognito along the Norfolk coast?

Before long a number of very different events come together to reveal a dangerous conspiracy.

As the story unfolds against the background of an International Opium Conference, Holmes and Watson find themselves embroiled in espionage and arms smuggling in the tense period leading up to the First World War.

'A memorable story that will delight any Holmes fan.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.

Lillian Fields is young, talented and beautiful.

Known on stage as ‘Loraine Fontaine’; the public love her, and the critics predict a glittering future as one of Victorian England’s most celebrated actresses.

But someone wants her dead.

Scared for her safety, she confides her fears to her friend Mary, who happens to be married to Dr. John H. Watson…

When both Lillian and Mary become hospitalised, Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes must push themselves to the limit to catch the poisoner before it is too late.

They find themselves applying their powers of observation and analysis to the only clues they have: a poisoned pitcher of milk and a bunch of meticulously arranged flowers.

In pursuit of the truth, the trail leads them to Lyceum Theatre, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, Scotland Yard and even rural Hertfordshire.

Who would want to kill Lillian?

Could it be her understudy, Lily Harley, who is desperate for a leading role…?

Her old director, Harrison Colby, bitter because Lillian left his scandalous play…?

Or the elusive Mr. Henshaw, who keeps appearing in the case…?

With a list of suspects to choose from, and plenty of possible motives, can Sherlock Holmes solve The Case of the Poisoned Lilly?

"Roger Riccard is an extremely good pastiche writer. Personally, I think the best since the late Val Andrews passed over Reichenbach." - Joel Senter, publisher of the Sherlockian E-Times

Roger Riccard is also the author of ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Twain Papers’.
