A Fright to the Death

"For outsize polymathic energy and accomplishment, Abdul-Jabbar &mdash; N.B.A. champion, cultural ambassador, author &mdash; rivals Conan Doyle himself."&#160;- New York Times"Abdul-Jabbar and Waterhouse have created a smart origin story for Mycroft that slots neatly onto the shelves next to the original canon."&#160;- Los Angeles Times&#160;"Holmesians will find much to appreciate in the novel&rsquo;s depiction of a character whose mind is as keen as Sherlock&rsquo;s."&#160;-&#160;Time.com"If you&rsquo;re only aware of Abdul-Jabbar&rsquo;s skill on the basketball court, get ready&mdash;this is an assured novel that fans of Holmes stories (old-school and new) will love."&#160;- Barnes and Noble&#160;"MYCROFT HOLMES is beautifully written and full of intrigue...while still managing to be a lot of fun.&rdquo;- Robert Towne, Oscar-winning screenwriter of&#160;Chinatown"The book is extremely well-written and well-researched, with layers of sensory detail and filmic tableaux...Doylean Easter Eggs are also sprinkled throughout and are presented with a witty subtlety that will delight longtime fans...Mycroft Holmes&#160;is a good book and an engaging mystery for Sherlockians and non-Sherlockians alike, but it&rsquo;s a particular delight for aficionados of the Doylean world. Here&rsquo;s hoping Abdul-Jabbar and Waterhouse write many more."&#160;- Baker Street Babes&ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud to have worked with Kareem, my friend of many years, on this project! It adds an exciting, new dimension to the life of Sherlock Holmes,&#160;and Kareem's passion for history has given the story a new twist.&rdquo; -&#160;Leslie S. Klinger, editor,&#160;The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes&#160;&ldquo;Moving beyond the echo of big-time basketball's cheering multitudes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has found an unlikely second career in the quietude of a writer's life.&#160; In his latest literary effort, he indulges his longtime appreciation for the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and gives us a rousing mystery novel featuring Sherlock Holmes' older and smarter brother, Mycroft, while launching a new series of adventures.&rdquo; -&#160;Gay Talese, author of&#160;A Writer&rsquo;s Life"With this meticulously researched work, Abdul-Jabbar and Waterhouse have pulled off the near-impossible with MYCROFT HOLMES: given us a novel that will appeal to any fan of good storytelling, an instant classic in the Sherlockian pastiche genre, and a must-read for history buffs. If you love the Holmes brothers, you will love this book.&#160; But more importantly, if you care about history and culture and passion and civil rights, you will love it all the more."-&#160;Lyndsay Faye,&#160;bestselling author,&#160;The Gods of Gotham"Basketball legend Abdul-Jabbar (Black&#160;Profiles in Courage) makes his triumphant adult fiction debut with an action yarn that fills in the backstory of Sherlock Holmes&rsquo;s older and smarter brother,&#160;Mycroft. In 1870, the 23-year-old Mycroft,&#160;who has a reputation as a daredevil, is serving as a secretary at the War Office when word reaches London of a series of unusual deaths in Trinidad. Someone, or some thing, has been killing children and&#160;draining their blood. The locals believe the&#160;culprits are supernatural beings known as&#160;lougarou, who drain children of their blood,&#160;and&#160;douen, who leave&#160;highly unusual footprints near their victims.&#160;The tragic news stuns Mycroft&rsquo;s fianc&eacute;e, Georgiana Sutton, who immediately sails home to Trinidad. Disobeying her request to stay behind, Mycroft follows Georgiana to Trinidad, where he must exercise his&#160;intellect and his innate diplomatic skills to&#160;solve the crimes and remain alive. Sherlockians who relish the screen adventures of Cumberbatch and Downey will be particularly entertained."&#160;-&#160;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review)&#160;"Abdul-Jabbar, a Holmesian since his college days, joins forces with Waterhouse&#160;to offer a rousing mystery starring Sherlock&rsquo;s older (and smarter) brother, Mycroft, a rising star in the British government. The action begins in 1870 London but quickly moves to Trinidad, where Mycroft&rsquo;s closest friend, Cyrus Douglas, a native of the island, must travel to investigate what some believe is an infestation of douen&mdash;tiny supernatural characters who lead children into the clutches of werewolf-like lougarou. Mycroft joins his friend for the trip, and what the two find on arrival&mdash;after a near-fatal ocean crossing&mdash;isn&rsquo;t supernatural but far more harrowing...&#160;The authors hit all the right notes here, combining fascinating historical detail&#160;with rousing adventure, including some cleverly choreographed fight scenes and a pair of protagonists whose rich biracial friendship, while presented realistically, given the era (Douglas must sometimes pose as a butler), is the highlight of the book. Yes, Douglas is a sort-of Watson, but a much brighter, more physical, more bantering version, an equal not a foil. Mystery fans will be eager to hear more from this terrific duo, who may well develop into a gaslit version of Robert B. Parker&rsquo;s Spenser and Hawk."-Booklist&#160;(starred review)"The central conceit is audacious; Mycroft's sense of moral outrage is nicely reflective of the era; the historical detail is solid; and the period decorum is well-maintained throughout." -&#160;Kirkus&#160;Reviews"Clear space on your new fiction shelf for this slam-dunk of a debut novel. Cowritten by NBA all-star and author Abdul-Jabbar (What Color Is My World?) and screenwriter and producer &shy;Waterhouse, the team behind the NAACP and Telly Award&ndash;winning documentary&#160;On the Shoulders of Giants, this latest collaboration brings a fresh voice and broadened scope to the Holmes canon. Historical fiction and mystery fans will be the first to demand this title, but its mass appeal is undeniable."&#160;-&#160;Library Journal&#160;(starred review)The erudite Jabbar has managed to weave elements of his far flung interests into a fascinating mystery narrative. The briskly written book has a delicate woven plot that brings together such diverse elements as Trinidadian culture and folklore, the tobacco importation business in London,&#160; and the usual Holmesian array of brightly obtuse knowledge and libertine philosophy that Sherlock fans enjoy&mdash; not to mention a plot that involves an elaborate scheme to bring slavery back to the Caribbean. By far the star of the novel is Holmes&rsquo; able accomplice Douglas&mdash;as compared to Watson, Douglas is portrayed as an equal instead of a foil. The careful dance of the friendship between the two men of different races, complicated by the laws and conventions of the era, is fascinating.&#160;&#160;&mdash;&#160;Mike Sager,&#160;Esquire"Mycroft Holmes is a 300+ page origin story that nails it&hellip; And it&rsquo;s got a solid mystery to boot."&#160;&ndash;Geek Dad"Jabbar and Waterhouse have concocted a smooth brew of dark mystery that, for all its gorgeous glossiness (such a lush yet reserved dust jacket), reads like part of the New Pulp movement. It&rsquo;s a clever ret-conning of one of literature&rsquo;s great worlds of mystery&rdquo;&#160;- The Blood Shed"If you are looking for a mystery with suspenseful action, charming characters, fascinating relationships and fun twists and turns, then this is the novel for you."&#160;- Geek Hard Show"Sure to earn a place in the early canon of the Holmes brothers&rsquo; tales."&#160;- Hypable"Can this book, despite the cache the author may carry with him, stand on its own in the ever-growing, seemingly non-stop publication of all things Holmes-related? To that, I can answer a definitive yes."&#160;- Birth.Movies.Death&#160;"Mycroft Holmes has added a new wrinkle in the revered Holmes brothers&rsquo; fan fiction stories &ndash; the loner genius versus the collaborative genius &ndash; and the contrast is entertaining as it is illuminating."-&#160;Pop Mythology&#160;&ldquo;Mycroft Holmes sets up its own tension-filled tale of revolt&rdquo;&#160;- Pajiba&#160;"Rich with historical details and multicultural insights."&#160;-&#160;Manhattan Book Review&#160;&#160;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a fast-paced read, and it is far more emotional than I was expecting it to be&rdquo;&#160;-&#160;Book Riot&#160;"This novel is an interesting and entertaining combination of mystery fiction and historical fiction with a tiny dash of elements found in horror fiction. This combination works well, because all of the elements are in perfect balance and the story flows effortlessly."&#160;-&#160;Rising Shadow&#160;&#160;"it's so well written, with an intriguing hook, well developed characters, and a great mystery at the center of the story."&#160;-&#160;Never Anyone Else&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Suspenseful...compelling&rdquo;&#160;-&#160;The Missourian&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Mycroft Holmes is a fine addition to the canon &ndash; compelling, well-plotted, and firmly in possession of a social conscience.&rdquo;&#160;-&#160;Austin Chronicle&#160;&ldquo;well-written and tightly plotted and it features issues of race that we don&rsquo;t typically see in Sherlock Holmes stories. The settings are detailed and immersive&rdquo;&#160;-&#160;Fandom Post&#160;&#160;
