A Brief Description of The Devil’s Grin:

Dr Anton Kronberg, England’s best bacteriologist, is called upon to investigate a series of murders in gritty Victorian London when a cholera fatality is found floating in the city’s drinking water supply. Scotland Yard decidedly steers clear of the case; however upon investigation, the doctor manages to cross paths with Sherlock Holmes. Mr. Holmes soon makes the startling discovery that Dr. Anton Kronberg is a woman posing as a man, a punishable offense. However, they must work together to stop the cold-blooded brutality.

Praise for The Devil’s Grin:

“The Devil’s Grin keeps you reading not only because of the whodunit, but more intensely because of the whoisit; who is Sherlock? and who is Dr. Kronberg? The gradual revelation of the personality of each character (and the villain!) is what keeps you glued to your book…” –Ruben

“Anna is a strong, spirited, intelligent character who makes the reader want to root for her. Add Mr. Holmes to the story and a bit of romance and you’ve got a page-turner that’s hard to put down. Wonderful read.” –Deb

“It is a mystery, a romance, and a social commentary role neatly into a fast paced novel with a unique hero who has an astounding secret. I enjoyed the book immensely.” —Glen E. Drake
