<DIV>&ldquo;Donald Thomas is the all-time best at Sherlockian pastiche.&rdquo; &mdash;<i>Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine</i><BR></div><DIV><BR>In a momentous period of British history, Donald Thomas&rsquo;s latest Sherlock Holmes adventure pits the Great Detective and his faithful biographer, Dr. John Watson, against an international conspiracy led by a disgraced English officer. Colonel Hunter Moran bears upon him &ldquo;The Mark of the Beast&rdquo;; his satanic ingenuity leaves a spectacular trail of devastation. It runs from the annihilation of a British armored column by Zulu tribesmen armed only with shields and spears, to a life-and-death struggle on the sinking passenger steamer Comtesse de Flandre.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>The heir to the French empire lies dead in the African dust. Europe is brought to the brink of war by forged dispatches, designed to enrich gun-runners and assassins. The gold-fields and diamond mines of South Africa become the playground of organized crime.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Only the detective genius of Holmes can prove a match for the unfolding criminality of Moran and his associates. With</div><DIV>Watson and Mycroft at his side, Sherlock Holmes again demonstrates that although the powers of the state and the underworld may try to overpower him, they will never out-think his splendid analytical mind at the height of its powers.<BR></div>
