Sherlock Holmes and the Longacre Vampire
By Val Andrews
London, 1899. Three bodies have been found along Longacre Road, drained of blood and with two puncture marks on their necks.
Nearby, at the Lyceum theatre, Sir Henry Irving has adapted Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the stage and is playing the Count himself. The play receives praise, as all that is associated with Sir Henry is wont to do. At least, until the connection between the play’s subject and the bodies found in the proximity of the theatre is brought to light. Implicated by association, Irving must prove his innocence, or risk the future of the play. So he turns to Sherlock Holmes.
The famous duo, aided by Inspector Lestrade, must find the culprit before another body appears. But they quickly find themselves immersed in a world of duplicity, forgery, and insanity, where acting is the name of the game. Will they solve the mystery before it’s too late? Or will more suffer at the hands of this mysterious killer?
