Mycroft Holmes / Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 328 p. Celebrity Challenge

Mycroft Holmes / Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 328 p.

We learn about the early life of Sherlock Holme's brother, Mycroft.  Mycroft is a Cambridge graduate who is rising in his chosen career of government work.  We see the early beginnings of his encyclopedic memory.  His life takes a very different turn when his best friend, Cyrus Douglas, comes to him with a very grave situation in his home country of Trinidad-- strange deaths involving children.  The two set out on a difficult and dangerous (dangerous because someone of power is looking to stop them: using anything and everything to stop them including poisons and physical beatings) journey.  These do not stop Mycroft.  Using Douglas' local contacts as well as his governmental contacts, the two begin to piece together the nefarious plot to reinstate slavery.
