The year is 1908: At Martha Freuds request Holmes investigates her husbands peculiar behaviour, and Freud helps him to solve the mystery of Reichenbach and the years that followed.
Dr. Freuds persecutor, we discover, is someone who will later have a profound effect on the history of Austria, and indeed of the world. Its heady stuff, excitingly told
---- excerpted from the book review by Roger Johnson, Editor of the Newsletter, who also calls Sherlock Holmes Last Case a rattling good read.
