Mystery Historical | Mystery Private Eye
In the summer of 1893, Gustav “Old Red” Amlingmeyer and
his brother Otto (a.k.a. “Big Red”) find themselves down
and out in San Francisco. Though cowpokes by training, the
brothers are devotees of the late, great Sherlock Holmes
and his trademark method of “deducifying.” But when they
set out to land jobs as professional detectives, they land
themselves in hot water, instead. First their friend Dr. Chan mysteriously takes a potshot
at them, fatally wounding Big Red’s new hat. Then a
secretive young woman from their past pops up and
convinces them that Chan’s in trouble -- and they’re just
the men to get him out of it. Unfortunately, they’re too
late: By the time they track Chan down again, he’s dead.
The police call it a suicide. Old Red calls that a lie.
When he and his brother set out to prove it, they put
themselves on a collision course with shady S.F.P.D. cops,
brutal Barbary Coast hoodlums and the deadly Chinatown
tongs. Before long, all sides are in a race to uncover the secret
that could rock the city. And their only clue to what’s
actually going on is the enigmatic, exotic and extremely
difficult to find “Black Dove.”
