The story takes place in 1868, a 14 year old Sherlock Holmes tries to solve the deaths of two men. They appear to have died from small pox or the plague. This intrigues young Sherlock and he and his friend Matty investigate. The investigation takes them from small town England to the shores of France. What they find is a mysterious cloud of death and a baron worthy of Moriarty.
I liked this book. It was a really quick read and had all the "quirks" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. I will say that I was disappointed with the actual "death cloud". The premiss behind it was brilliant but the reality of it was a little farfetched. Sherlock Holmes fans you will not be disappointed.
