Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan

“the preparation for submarine attack” [LAST] 

Good storytellers transport us to other places and times by virtue of their ability to create interesting characters and pull us along as the plot unfolds.

Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan begins with two already interesting characters who are concerned with justice, and through Mike Baron's skillful storytelling that we find ourselves following the two as they unravel a global criminal conspiracy. Illustrated by artist Richard Bonk, it represents what may be the greatest work of both of their professional careers.

As an Eisner Award-winning author, Baron has crowdfunded a number of his works before, and is continuing in that tradition with this book. Interested readers can support it at any of the links below.

We also have the Sherlockian News and some listener comments, Madeline Quiñones gives us her thirteenth installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts. And of course we have a Canonical Couplet quiz for you to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by December 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.
