Literary researcher Harold White reaches nirvana when he is inducted into the Baker Street Irregulars, the preeminent Sherlockian group in the United States. Arthur Conan Doyle scholar Alex Cale is coming to the Baker Street Irregulars convention with the long lost Doyle diary-- only to be murdered in his hotel room. Doyle's great-grandson hires White to solve the murder and trace the diary, which is missing from Cale's hotel room. Chapters alternative between White's probing in the present and Doyle's own account of his serial murder investigation with his friend Bram Stoker in 1900. A good yarn utilizing much from the Holmes stories useful for readers of Sherlock Holmes.
