Publisher's Summary

A mystery/road trip/buddy comedy/action adventure from the author of Second Hand Curses.

A dance club full of bodies. Cause of death - a mystery. The lone survivor - a man, raving like a lunatic, wearing only a deerstalker hat.

Now, the man who calls himself Sherman Holmes is being studied like a lab rat by a top-secret government agency. How is it he can be barely clinging to reality one minute - yet be a seeming genius the next? Within his brain might just be the greatest scientific breakthrough of the millennium, if anyone can figure out how to access it.

Enter the agent code named Watson.

Once a rising star, a deadly betrayal sent him spiraling into uncertainty and paranoia. Now saddled with moving Sherman to a more-secure facility, he must prove he’s still up to the task. With enemies on their heels, a whole country to cross, and Sherman ranting in his ear, the job proves to be more of a challenge than Watson ever anticipated.

With Watson’s experience and the bizarre insights of his own twisted mind, Sherman just might survive. But can Watson survive Sherman?

Action Packed with an Intriguing Sherlock Hook

You're on a road trip with a lunatic you have to protect. It'll be fun; you'll see.

It is a fun road trip/ mismatched buddy comedy/ action novel.

Another series by Drew Hayes to get addicted to

I loved it so much! It's a fun mystery, buddy comedy road trip, and all around great story. I can't wait for the next book. The narrator was great, and his reading of certain lines made me laugh way harder than I should in a public bus terminal.

Interesting

Interesting enough to keep me listening, narration was decent, but nothing too exciting to write home about. I may consider reading the next one, though I'm not sure I will.
