Amelia Scarcliffe's monstrous brood, harbingers of Cthulhu, will soon spawn. Her songs spell insanity, death... and illimitable wealth. And Moriarty will do anything to get his hands on gold, even if it means tearing down the walls between this world and a realm of horrors.
Meanwhile, after SherlockHolmes's last tangle with the Order of Dagon, horrifying monsters haunt theThames, and madness stalks the streets of Whitechapel. Gang war betweenMoriarty's thugs and the powerful cult can only bring more terror-unless Holmesand Dr. Watson can prevent it. But can they find the cause of the neuralpsychoses before Watson himself succumbs.

This is my first time reading the author. I haven'tread the first book, Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu: The Adventure of theDeadly Dimensions and I feel I missed out because of this. There arereferences to the first book that totally went passed me and I had a feeling Iwas missing a large chunk of the story. I enjoyed a lot of the book but thereare chunks where I felt events were just being set up for the third book anddidn't really go anywhere. I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft and this book is verytrue to Lovecraftian elements. I felt this was even truer than the Sherlockelements which didn't work so well. Holmes is quite a different character thanhe usually is and this doesn't always work. Still, this was a fun read. Somecrazy shit happens and that's always good.
