Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
After the harrowing experience of losing his mother while solving a brutal murder in London’s East End, young Sherlock Holmes commits himself to fighting crime … and is soon involved in another case. While visiting his father at the magnificent Crystal Palace, Sherlock stops to watch a remarkable and dangerous trapeze performance high above, framed by the stunning glass ceiling of the legendary building. Suddenly, the troupe’s star is dropping, screaming and flailing, toward the floor. He lands with a sickening thud just a few feet away, and rolls up almost onto the boy’s boots. Unconscious and bleeding profusely, his body is grotesquely twisted. In the mayhem that follows, Sherlock notices something that no one else sees — something is amiss with the trapeze bar! He knows that foul play is afoot. What he doesn’t know is that his discovery will put him on a frightening, twisted trail that leads to an entire gang of notorious criminals. Wrapped in the fascinating world of Victorian entertainment, its dangerous performances, and London’s dark underworld, Death in the Air raises The Boy Sherlock Holmes to a whole new level.
Be sure not to miss Eye of the Crow, The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His First Case.

As a big Sherlock Holmes fan when I was a kid, I was initially suspicious of anyone trying to imitate the master. Shane Peacock has done just that - what a great way to introduce a new generation to the inimitable Holmes. In much the way Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have given us insight into the origins of Peter Pan in Peter and the Starcatchers Peacock explores the origins of Sherlock Holmes in his second adolescent mystery. Don't miss this one!!
Rated by buyers -
Young Sherlock Holmes commits himself to fighting crime early on and finds himself in another dangerous case when he visits his father at work only to find a trapeze performance turns into an unexplainable death scene. Victorian settings and fast-paced action make DEATH IN THE AIR an absorbing read for advanced teen readers interested in complex mysteries.
