About this listen

As the city of Minneapolis prepares for a visit from President William McKinley, someone else prepares for murder. On the day before the visit, a union activist is found hanged, naked, outside a ruined mansion. A placard around his neck reads "THE SECRET ALLIANCE HAS SPOKEN." Who is the alliance? What does it want? How was the victim involved with the city's corrupt mayor? And why did he possess a photograph of a prominent citizen in a compromising position? Shadwell Rafferty searches for answers, encountering bribery, corruption, union organizers, anarchists, and conspiracy, putting himself in danger. But as luck would have it, his old friends Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson are on their way.

In this fourth installment of Larry Millett's Minnesota Mystery series, Shadwell Rafferty commands center stage in a brand-new city. Packed with Millett's signature historical and architectural detail, this book is deviously delightful.

Not the best

The almost short hard writing style became quite jarring when it took over the main narrative of the story.

Why the changes?

Why the change in writing style, ruined it for me! Referring to Watson and Holmes as W and H has taken away the elegance that was in the previous books in the series

I'd give it zero in all categories were it possibl

utterly dreadful on all counts. A complete travesty. God only knows if you can pay money for this, but don't under any circumstances. Just listen to the dreadful preview.
