Such a start bodes well for the success of this new Sherlock Holmes mystery. Please be assured that as soon as the books arrive, I will happily sign and send them on their way to you.

Five Miles of Country is Gretchen Altabef’s third novel in the Rachel Holmes series. It is 1896, Holmes and Watson are called to Thomas Edison’s “Imagination Factory” to solve the murder of a Vaudeville danseuse in the world’s first motion picture studio. Early film pioneers are inventing an explosive new medium. During this time moving pictures were black and white, soundless, thirty seconds long, and the herald of a fantastic future! Rachel returns to Vassar College, Irene Adler-Holmes takes on Broadway as a new form of American music grows into Jazz.

Are there monsters to contend with in New Jersey, and Poughkeepsie, or ghosts on Forty-second Street? Tammany Hall thugs to submerge New York City into darkness and villainy? Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, plus a cast of old and new friends, do indeed solve every mystery.
