Indeed, enjoying the luxuries of the\u003ci\u003e Orient Express, \u003c\/i\u003ethey travel the breadth of fin de siecle Europe to exotic Constantinople, though not strictly in pursuit of pleasure. For death, too, is traveling first class. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The mystery begins familiarly enough in London, in the middle of the night. Holmes and Watson are summoned to a crime scene that seems to vanish before their eyes, as they find themselves with neither evidence nor a client. They do not want for opposition, however, not with the governments of three great empires arrayed against them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Holmes strives to unmask his most ruthless and elusive foe, he is transported into a world of high finance rife with intrigue and crime. With a cast of characters that includes the enchanting Countess D'Espinau and Winston Churchill, as well as a beggar girl whom Watson adopts, Holmes follows a trail that leads ultimately and unpredictably to the fabled and fabulous lost Hapsburg Tiara.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Vanneman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eSherlock Holmes and the Giant Rat of Sumatra\u003c\/i\u003e as well as numerous short stories.
