I would like to dedicate the Great Detective’s latest case to Miranda Jewess who made a most excellent Watson to my and Bob’s Sherlock—Sorrow’s Crown would not be half the book it is without her red pen. Scratch that, she’s more of a Mycroft, two steps ahead and looking out for us boys. Thank you, boss. We owe you.

STEVEN SAVILE

I would like to dedicate this adventure to Steve, who went from friend to partner. He stepped in to help shape a notion into a novel and did so with verve and patience. And a huge thank you to Miranda who saw to it we had the time and offered us the guidance to make this a worthy read. I owe you both.
