The Six Messiahs (Arthur Conan Doyle Series #2)

In The Six Messiahs, Mark Frost again creates a novel of nineteenth-century mystery, adventure, and terror with Arthur Conan Doyle--the creator of the Sherlock Holmes books--at the center of the heart-stopping action. But The Six Messiahs is not a sequel; it is a spectacularly imagined novel that stands entirely on its own. Ten years have passed since Doyle first met the brilliant Jack Sparks and together they cracked the deadly case of The List of 7. Inspired by his friend, Doyle went on to create Sherlock Holmes, the character that has since made him a wealthy and celebrated man. Now off to America for his first book tour, Doyle is joined by his impetuous younger brother, Innes, and a cryptic Irish priest. During their voyage across the Atlantic, the men are stalked by an otherworldly order of assassins attempting to steal a precious piece of the ship's cargo: a priceless book of ancient mysticism. The Book of Zohar is the first piece of a lethal puzzle that will draw Doyle across the burgeoning young nation. From the filthy slums of lower Manhattan to the dark alleys of Chicago to a final apocalyptic confrontation in the searing Arizona desert, Doyle and his companions track the paths of six mysterious strangers who are united by a single, eerie dream. A dream of a black tower rising out of a wasteland--and a river of blood. As their trails converge at the source of this terrifying vision, Doyle and company confront an evil so dark and profound that it threatens to obliterate the very fabric of the world. Mark Frost has created a remarkable entertainment, a thriller teeming with details of American life at the turn of the century. There are twists and turns, mysteries to solve, page-turning frights, laughs, fascinating insights into the issues of the day, a cast of fantastically vivid characters--and a pulse-pounding story that will keep readers mesmerized until they reach the horrific and shattering conclusion.

Sitting in headquarters thinking about these matters may not make them go away, but it does offer Jake a chance to examine some of his feelings. Then two emergency calls come in at the same time." "A child has been critically injured in his own front yard and something approaching the proportions of an old-fashioned gang rumble has broken out in the parking lot of Central High. As the department mobilizes to deal with these two events, Jake is told that the little boy is dead and that the emergency room doctor attributes the death to a gunshot wound. The witnesses all state, however, that there was no gun at the scene, and no one heard a shot. To complicate matters, one of the ringleaders in the school brawl was the chief's son and the first boy he hit has gone to the hospital...."--BOOK JACKET. I Love A Mystery a page-turner . . . a dandy, with a well-developed plot, sharp characterization, and a fluid style.
