In 1893, the Amlingmeyer boys venture forth from the west
in response to a summons from Otto's ("Big Red") publisher-
- they are to come to Chicago immediately, to the World's
Columbian Exposition, and compete with some of the most
famous detectives in the world. Set to coincide with the
closing days of the first World's Fair and the publication
of the story revealing the death of Sherlock Holmes,
Gustav ("Old Red") will be competing for the title of
World's Greatest Sleuth! Hating train travel and cities,
the real draw is the chance to meet up again with the
intriguing and elusive Diana Corvus.
But the competition has barely begun before there is a
murder in "the White City"--the organizer of the contest
is discovered face down in the Mammoth Cheese from Canada--
and from there, the game isreallyafoot.
