COVER
TEXT:
The "Peerless Peer"
of the title is none other than Lord Greystoke, the jungle-born scion
of
a noble English family, a duke in Britain but in his larger estate of
Central
Africa a king. The time is 1916, at the height of the Great War. The
east
wind has grown appallingly cold in England, and when the Foreign Office
learns that a deadly formula has been stolen from the Allies by
Sherlock
Holmes' old foe, the German agent Von Bork, Mycroft calls his younger
brother
out of retirement to save the Empire from the greatest danger that ever
threatened it. Watson, of course, accompanies Holmes on this perilous
mission,
and his account of their adventure is one of the most thrilling
narratives
the good doctor ever penned.
