On a miserable rainy evening a desperate father enters 221B Baker Street. His daughter has been kidnapped and spirited off the North America. The evil network who has taken her have spies everywhere. Years ago in America they murdered his father and his wife. They set fire to his home and burned them to death. Now, if he goes to Scotland Yard he knows that they will kill his beloved daughter. There is only one hope - Sherlock Holmes.
But the daughter is no helpless maiden. She has provided secret clues that Holmes deciphers and so Holmes and Watson sail to a small corner of Canada, Prince Edward Island, in search of her. They find themselves fighting one of the most powerful and malicious organizations on earth - the Ku Klux Klan. But they are aided in their quest by the newest member of the Baker Street Irregulars, a determined and imaginative young redhead, one who is known and loved by readers around the world. And then they recruit the resources of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. - the Mounties, who always get their man. The reader is taken to a unique time and place in history, Africville, on the edge of Halifax. Once it was a thriving community inhabited almost entirely by former African-American slave who made their way to freedom in Canada over the previous hundred years. It is here that Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, the RCMP (including the dog), and the Cuthbert/Shirley family come face to face with the Klan. Sherlockians will enjoy this new adventure of the world's most famous detective, inspired by the original story of The Five Orange Pips. And those who love Anne of Green Gables will thrill to see her recruited by Holmes and Watson to help in the defeat of crime.

Über Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle wurde am 22. Mai 1859 in Edinburgh geboren. Er studierte Medizin und unternahm als Schiffsarzt Reisen nach Afrika und in die Antarktis. 1882 eröffnete er eine Arztpraxis in Southsea bei Porthsmouth und begann in seiner Freizeit, Geschichten zu schreiben. 1887 veröffentlichte er seine erste Erzählung über den Detektiv Sherlock Holmes und seinen Freund, den Arzt Dr. Watson: A Study in Scarlet (dt. Eine Studie in Scharlachrot). Mit seinen Detektiverzählungen um Sherlock Holmes, insbesondere dem 1903 erschienenen Romans The Hound of the Baskervilles (dt.: Der Hund der Baskervilles) erlangte Doyle Welt-ruhm. In seinen späteren Jahren begann er Zukunftsromane in der Tradition von Jules Verne zu schreiben und widmete sich in zunehmendem Maße dem Spiritismus. Am 7. Juli 1930 starb Doyle in Windlesham an den Folgen eines Herzinfarkts.
