OLDER FICTION

Rebel Fire

(2) YA Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins series. This second volume (Death Cloud) sends the young Sherlock Holmes to America in pursuit of a miraculously alive (but seriously deranged) John Wilkes Booth, whose gang has Sherlock's sidekick Matty in its clutches. While there is more action here than Conan Doyle's Holmes probably saw in his entire lifetime, the pacing is smart but dignified, anchored by the boy's observant and inquisitive nature.
