From my place of concealment, I saw Holmes position himself behind one of the arches leading into the great room. The silence in this cold place of stark stone became oppressive. The flickering candles seemed far removed, and my eyelids became weighted. With an effort, I resisted the hypnotic effect of open flame. Nor would I fall prey to my desire to close my eyes and succumb to the gentle embrace of sleep. Here I was, at Holmes' side, at this frightening moment... and I would not allow myself to be a weak link. AUTHORBIO: This is Frank Thomas' tenth book dealing with the immortal sleuth.
