The Case of the Reluctant Agent - Tracy Cooper-Posey - Bog

It is 1917 and the Great War has been raging for three long years. Mycroft Holmes grows suspicious of one of his agents in Constantinople. Naturally, he wants to send a man to investigate who knows the language, the people and has an exemplary war record, including fourteen months posing as a German officer in Berlin. But Sherlock Holmes proves to be, for once, stubbornly unwilling to fulfill his older brother's request. When Mycroft is shot and left for dead, Holmes is forced to Constantinople to uncover the man behind the deed. Unfortunately, before he was assaulted Mycroft failed to communicate which agent was the turncoat. So begins Holmes' reluctant return to the Near East. Not only does the adventure provoke a bagful of memories both bitter and sweet but the hunt for the agent who betrayed them unravels with breath-robbing surprises that even Holmes with all his skills could never have anticipated. ____ The Case of the Reluctant Agent was previously published in Canada. It has now been re-edited and repackaged with new front and end matter. This second edition is released worldwide except for Canada and for the first time includes an ebook version.
