Sherlock Holmes Vs Dracula
"The game is afoot! In turn-of-the-century England, a lone ship arrives from the Black Sea beached and crewless, save her captain, dead and tethered to the wheel. With nine men missing and a very curious cargo aboard, only one man is fit to unravel the mystery - London's brilliant consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes! With the assistance of the faithful Doctor Watson, Holmes uncovers a plot against Her Majesty Queen Victoria to overthrow her kingdom through a plague-like corruption of her bloodline. And the evidence suggests that at the epicenter of this gruesome conspiracy is none other than the ancient and abhorrent Count Dracula! Borrowing from both Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Bram Stoker, writer Ian Edginton faithfully weaving together an artful take of intellect and horror in this epic face-off between two litrary icons."--Page 4 of cover.
