In this second adventure featuring the Raven League, assistants to Sherlock Holmes, the kids get involved in another mystery when a murder occurs during Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show performance in London. In addition to being a rousing mystery story with real historical characters, the novel includes many gritty details of Victorian London, from its poverty to its prejudices.
