Plot

What starts out as anarchists defacing a painting of the Prime Minister in the National Portrait Gallery turns into a battle of wits between Holmes and the criminal mastermind known as Monsieur Zenith the Albino that span from forged artwork to the destruction of the British monarchy itself.

Reception

Publishers Weekly were positive, saying 'Douglas does a good job of giving Watson opportunities to display his sense of humor, while preserving Holmes's sharper edges.'[1] The British Fantasy Society said 'The use of Holmes's deductive prowess is used effectively, and the Victorian London setting is described well.'[2]
