'The stories are atmospheric, fast-moving, ingenious and very enjoyable.' - Roger Johnson, The District Messenger
A financial crisis, and a bank on the brink of ruin. The City of London, the great financial hub of the British Empire, stands on the edge of collapse. And yet, in the background, an attack on the City's lines of communication are making the matter worse.
Are dark forces at work?
Mycroft Holmes, the brother of the country's most famous detective, believes that they might be.
And in this thrilling novella, Mycroft has just a few hours to prove his theory correct - and to save the financial system from collapse.
Mycroft Holmes and The Bankers’ Conclave is the fourth book in David Dickinson’s brilliant series of novellas that started with Mycroft Holmes and the Adventure of the Silver Birches.
'A cracking yarn, beguilingly real from start to finish... you have to pinch yourself to remind you that it is fiction - or is it?' - Peter Snow
'This is detective fiction in the grand style; the characters and the plot soar upwards and carry us in their wake. Powerscourt's debut in this intoxicating book is the start of a gilded life in the archives of crime.' - James Naughtie
'In this excellent novel, Dickinson weaves a tale of blackmail and murder among the royals late in Victoria's reign... One hopes to see more of Lord Powerscourt and his friends in the near future.' - Publishers Weekly
