LESTRADE AND THE BROTHER OF DEATH

            There’s no rest for Sherlock Holmes’s old foil Sholto Lestrade.  The seventh of his sixteen adventures (Lestrade and the Deadly Game, p.  1091, etc.) sends the doughty inspector, convalescing from a broken leg he got in exiting the Titanic, to his fiancée Fanny Berkely’s peaceful home in Surrey – only to shatter the peace with a series of threatening letters linked to an attempt on the life of Fanny’s father, and to a more successful attempt on a fellow copper.
