“You are here as a spy” [ILLU]
In Spy Hunter, it’s 1914 and Sherlock Holmes has been murdered. Nobody knows who did it, but Wiggins, former Baker Street Irregular and Holmes' protégée, suspects a German spy.
This is where H.B. Lyle's fourth installment in his Irregular series picks up. Ben joined us to share his journey as a writer focused on historical fiction, and how easily the ringleader of Holmes's street urchins turned to spycraft. The early days of MI5 and MI6 hold particular interest, and we learn about an inspiration by George MacDonald Fraser along the way.
We also bring you the Sherlockian news, another podcast review in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Spy Hunter. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by October 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.
