No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In Victorian London's cesspool of crime and disease, a series of murders remains undiscovered until a cholera victim is found floating in the city's drinking water supply. Dr Anton Kronberg, England's best bacteriologist, is called upon to investigate and finds evidence of abduction and medical maltreatment. While Scotland Yard has little interest in pursuing the case, Kronberg pushes on and crosses paths with Sherlock Holmes. The detective immediately discovers Kronberg's secret - a woman masquerading as a man in order to practice medicine - a criminal deed that could land her in prison for years to come. But both must join forces to stop a crime so monstrous, it outshines Jack the Ripper's deeds in brutality and cold-bloodedness.

"Laurie King's Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes series was one of my favorites, especially the early books but I have to say this interpretation is smashing. Anna Kronberg is a kick-butt heroine...
Suspenseful, authentic yet innovative and faithful to the original Sherlock Holmes character--can't wish for a better combination. This is a skillful writer and a thinking one, no easy outs and no lazy solutions." Marik Berghs Book Reviews
"The story is fast-paced, engaging, enjoyably atmospheric, dark, and I'm really fascinated with Anna's character." The Stormy Petrels
"Beyond being a fine CSI/Sherlock Holmes style mystery, this is a poignant novel at times almost poetic" ... "An unforgettable hero(ine)" Dan Andriacco, best-selling author of Baker Street Beat
"You've created a truly fascinating character in Dr Kronberg and set her against one of the finest characters in English mystery fiction. Dr. Kronberg is intelligent, passionate about what she does, assertive in a positive way, and compassionate and empathetic to modern readers. That she must masquerade as a man in order to do what she does best and achieve the success she so richly deserves speaks volumes about the history of women in Western society." P aul Negri, former editor-in-chief and president of Dover Publications
"A terrific read!" Richard "RB" Botto, CEO of Stage32
"Such an engaging voice" Cathy Jones, author
