Publisher's Summary

Selling two million copies in earlier editions, this is the second of the rediscovered Sherlock Holmes adventures.

London, March 1895. The West End is full of strange happenings. Theater critic Jonathan McCarthy has been murdered. A young actress has also been killed - her throat slit. The Marquess of Queensberry is being sued for libel. And a police surgeon has disappeared along with two corpses.

Prominent figures in the theater district seem to be somehow involved in these various mysteries, including Bernard Shaw, Ellen Terry, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde.

Scotland Yard is mystified by what appear to be unrelated cases. Sherlock Holmes, however, finds it all elementary: a maniac is at work. And his name is Jack.
