Posted by Steve Emecz on
Publishers Weekly In this enjoyable pastiche from Gilbert (The Illumination of Sherlock Holmes), Menachem Goldman, a shady character involved in London’s jewelry market, consults the Baker Street sleuth after learning of “a huge and hitherto unknown treasure” found in the Aegean Sea. Since the divers who made the discovery are dead, Goldman doesn’t know the treasure’s precise location, and he asks Holmes to use his resources to find it.
