LESTRADE AND THE RIPPER
by M.J. Trow
Lestrade And The Ripper ($19.95; Sept.; 288 pp.; 0-89526-311-4): As if his hands weren’t full enough with the depradations of Whitechapel’s gift to history, Inspector Sholto Lestrade (Lestrade and the Deadly Game, p. 1091) has to contend with the unsolved murder in a Brighton hotel of psychic researcher Edmund Gurney—and the investigations of that meddlesome incompetent, Sherlock Holmes.
