Are you as clever as Sherlock?

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the well-known Sherlock Holmes as an adult character.  What would Sherlock have been  like as a teenager?  You'll get an idea in Death Cloud by Andrew Lane.  Sherlock is 14 and he's stuck on the estate of his aunt and uncle for a boring summer.  Well...it starts OFF being boring, but soon Sherlock is entrenched in a murder mystery when he and his tutor stumble upon a dead body covered in bizarre red welts.  Add in another similar death, kidnappings, a pretty girl, and an evil plot to bring down the British Empire, and you've got a page-turning adventure! If you like the book, there's another one in the series: Rebel Fire is scheduled to be released in April 2012.
