Part of Series
The wealthy American entrepreneur Albert Benjamin Pendleton owns the Midnight Fire club in London’s Pall Mall–an exclusive club for the rich and famous, with visitors from around the world. When one of its wealthiest clients, an Australian named Cecil Anthony Hart, is found murdered, the police arrest Pendleton for the crime. Pendleton’s secretary, William McPherson, engages Sherlock Holmes to clear the American. But Scotland Yard calls in Surrey’s most proficient investigator, Inspector Baynes–the only official to have ever matched Sherlock Holmes in his investigative skills.
Author
Christopher is a Reader's Favorite award winning author and Star Trek Feature Writer. Described by New York Times Bestseller Michael Jan Friedman as "an up-and-coming fantasy voice", and compared to Roger Zelazny's best work, Abbott's Songs of the Osirian series of works brings a bold re-telling of Ancient Egyptian mythology. Abbott presents a fresh view of deities we know, such as Horus, Osiris, and Anubis. He weaves the godlike magic through musical poetry, giving these wonderfully tragic and deeply flawed "gods" different perspective, all the while increasing their mysteriousness. His Sherlock Holmes stories, published in the Watson Chronicles Series, have been recognised by readers and peers alike as faithfully authentic to the original Conan Doyle. In 2022, after publishing seven individual Watson Chronicle stories, Christopher teamed up with prolific authors Michael Jan Friedman and Aaron Rosenberg to add a collection of Holmes short stories to the series. Christopher has published with Crazy8Press and written for major media outlets, including ScreenRant.
