About this listen

A mystery/road trip/buddy comedy/action adventure from the author of Second Hand Curses.

A dance club full of bodies. Cause of death - a mystery. The lone survivor - a man, raving like a lunatic, wearing only a deerstalker hat.

Now, the man who calls himself Sherman Holmes is being studied like a lab rat by a top-secret government agency. How is it he can be barely clinging to reality one minute - yet be a seeming genius the next? Within his brain might just be the greatest scientific breakthrough of the millennium, if anyone can figure out how to access it.

Enter the agent code named Watson.

Once a rising star, a deadly betrayal sent him spiraling into uncertainty and paranoia. Now saddled with moving Sherman to a more-secure facility, he must prove he’s still up to the task. With enemies on their heels, a whole country to cross, and Sherman ranting in his ear, the job proves to be more of a challenge than Watson ever anticipated.

With Watson’s experience and the bizarre insights of his own twisted mind, Sherman just might survive. But can Watson survive Sherman?

I loved it!

Such a fun tale, and the characters were brought to life by the narration. I especially loved Sherman's outbursts and the way Watson grew into his role. I bought the second book as soon as I finished this one.

Drew Hayes, Legend

Grabbed everything from Drew Hayes after first reading Corpies. Although not of the same vein, this is still a fantastic listen. Narrators bring all the characters to life and the story itself is a bolt from the blue. Excellent.

Excellent book.

I loved this book, funny at times. Both men had problems, although different problems, they helped each other. They became true friends. I highly recommend this book.

Different but good,

A very different take on the original. Took a while to get into but was ok. The story wasn't gripping or "by the edge of your seat thriller" but ok if you wanted to listen to it before bed while you drifted off. It left a lot more questions unanswered as to why things happened, which was frustrating. Indeed there was no "cases" to solve it or any detective work, but an introduction to the characters and a back story. Hopefully, the next one will be more crime fighting -Sherlock Holmes way.
