The Outrage at the Diogenes Club (Sherlock Holmes and the American Literati Book 4) by Daniel D Victor

In 1910, American author and social critic Jack London began writing The Assassination Bureau, Ltd., a work that he never completed. Now, thanks to the recently discovered manuscript of Dr. John Watson, we know why. The early part of London's book describes a secret organization-scoffed at or ignored by police officials-that conspires to murder influential political and social leaders. Not until Sherlock Holmes is provoked into action by threats close to home does anyone appear able to stop the Assassination Bureau. As Holmes and Watson proceed, they uncover devilish plots involving the deaths of some of the most prominent figures in history-from American Presidents to European heads of state, from murderous gangsters to muckraking writers like Jack London himself. With a deadly timing-device ticking, Sherlock Holmes hopes to prevent any further murders from threatening world peace. But by 1912, is he already too late?

Daniel D. Victor is a high school teacher in Los Angeles, where he and his wife and two sons live. He received his BA from UC Berkeley, his MA from California State University, Los Angeles, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, California, holds a Ph.D. in American Literature. THE MUCKRAKER AND THE DANDY: THE CONFLICTING PERSONAE OF DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS, his PhD dissertation, led to the invention of the Sherlock Holmes pastiche THE SEVENTH BULLET, which was initially published as a Thomas Dunne Book by St. Martin's Press. Martin's Press in 1992, and Titan Books of London recently issued it in paperback.

The first two chapters were also published in Appalachian State University's Cold Mountain Review. Victor has received various teaching honors, including a National Endowment for the Humanities independent study grant and acceptance to two NEH summer seminars, one at UC Berkeley and the other at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
