A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.
A third solo case for Doctor Watson (following Dead Man's Land and The Dead Can Wait). Holmes' sidekick's life away from Sherlock sees him as a prisoner of war and medic in 1917 deep inside Germany. The murder of an inmate in the food-starved camp sees him launched on an investigation which quickly reveals that all is not what it seems on the surface, and that the crime was just the tip the iceberg.
However, in order to avoid a similar fate and uncover the unwanted truth, Watson realises he will also have to escape the camp. And help is required. From 221B maybe? Rounded and dogged, this version of Doctor Watson brings a whole new dimension to the fabled character and fully justifies him enjoying a series of his very own. Elementary.
A stunning Dr Watson thriller perfect for all fans of Sherlock. The year is 1917 and Doctor John Watson is held in a notorious POW camp deep in enemy Germany, there as Medical Officer for the British prisoners. With the Allied blockade, food is perilously short in the camp and when a new prisoner is murdered all assume the poor chap was killed for his Red Cross parcel.
