St. Martin's Paperbacks. 2006. Paperback. Very Good. Writing a Sherlock Holmes tale is, for popular writers, equivalent to playi ng Hamlet for male actors: a challenge that few refuse and many regret. Bes tselling author Carr (The Angel of Darkness, etc.) acquits himself with hon or, though not high honors, in this short novel that pits Holmes, Watson an d Mycroft Holmes against conspirators at Queen Victoria's Royal Palace of H olyrood in Edinburgh, Scotland. When the men are killed at Holyrood in a fa shion similar to the slaying centuries before of David Rizzio, an Italian c onfidant of Mary, Queen of Scots, Mycroft, who is Victoria's head of intell igence, calls upon his brother and Watson to help solve the mystery. Are th e killings the work of Scottish nationalists? Or perhaps the sign of a rest less ghost? From the latter question, and the novel's primary setting of th e dank castle, emanates a well-drawn atmosphere of gloom that makes this st ory a nice companion to The Hound of the Baskervilles.

"Caleb Carr's novel, "The Alienist," ""was a blockbuster international bestseller and positioned its author as a modern master of the historical thriller. Now, Carr reaches back further, to the age of opium dens and Jack the Ripper, when fictional detective Sherlock Holmes made the science of murder as real as the gore on a killer's hands..." FOUL WHISPERINGS...

The victims were crushed in a manner surpassing human power. And while recent attempts on her majesty's life raise a number of possibilities, these intrigues also seem strangely connected to an act of evil that took place centuries earlier... ...UNNATURAL DEEDS For indeed, the slaying of David Rizzio, music master and friend to Mary Queen of Scots, was an extraordinarily brutal and treacherous act--even for a time when brutality and treachery were the order of the day. Now, the ghosts of Holyrood House are being reawakened by someone with a diabolical agenda of greed, madness, and terror as Holmes and Watson set out to trap a killer who is eager to rewrite history in blood...
