(2012)(A book in the Mycroft Holmes series)
A Story by David Dickinson
When a corpse is found by the fire in Mycroft Holmes's rooms in London's Pall Mall early one morning, the brother of the country's most famous detective is about to face the greatest mystery of his career - and the greatest danger as well. Within two hours, Mycroft Holmes has been arrested on a charge of murder and taken in handcuffs to Wormwood Scrubs prison. Has he been framed by his greatest enemy, the elusive master criminal the German Count Von Stoltenburg? What happened to the man who changed the locks on his front door six weeks before, found lying senseless on the pavement on his way to Mycroft's rooms? And what of the man who identified the body as that of a naval engineer?
From his prison cell Mycroft Holmes turns the great engines of his mental powers onto the problem, assisted by the convict who runs the prison, Chalky The Shotgun White. The game's afoot. But time is short.
Mycroft Holmes and The Adventure of the Naval Engineer is the second in David Dickinson's brilliant series of novellas that started with Mycroft Holmes and the Adventure of the Silver Birches.
