M. J. Trow: Lestrade and the Sign of Nine |
From the Publisher But 1886 was a bad year for the Metropolitan Police. The People of the Abyss have heard the whisper and the spectre of Communism haunts the land. There is a new Commissioner, a regular martinet, at the Yard. And then, there is that very odd couple, sometime of Baker Street... Lestrade braves haunted houses, machine-gun bullets and two Home Secretaries in his headlong hunt for the truth. And at last, this is the book that chronicles his now legendary impersonation of the Great Sarah Bernhardt. The Police Revue was never the same again. M. J. Trow: Lestrade and the Sign of Nine. Regnery Publishing, ISBN: 0895262460 (September, 2000), 222 p., $19.95
