To potential reviewers,
I would be honored and delighted if you would review Book 2 of the trilogy “The Adventures of Dragos and Holmes.” According to my beta readers, there is no need to read the first book in order to enjoy the second. Of course you are welcome to imbibe!
In Book 2, Dragos and Holmes are about to face the most devastating challenges of their lives. Dragoș’s little daughter, Colette has been kidnapped out of the villa in Toledo, Spain, by the arch villain, Haroun. Dragoș reaches out to Holmes to assist in the rescue.
Meanwhile, Sherlock Holmes, who is in the midst of a harrowing midlife crisis, is himself in danger. A mysterious young Frenchman named Laurent, who aggressively seduced him at a soirée for the King of Sweden, has turned out to be an evil extortionist. He is threatening the detective with exposure, and ultimately with murder. All of this happens during the sensational Oscar Wilde trial in London, which is causing an eruption of public sentiment against ‘men of a certain persuasion.’ Holmes is in danger of losing his career and his life.
This is a book of adventure, romance, humor, melodrama and historical fiction, meticulously researched. As in Book 1, the style of storytelling honors its eighteenth and nineteenth century precursors: Tom Jones, Fanny Hill, the romances of Alexandre Dumas, and of course, the detective novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Thank you in advance for your consideration! Please let me know if I can supply you with any more information.
