This is an adventure back in time to the fog-bound streets of London, where Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr. Watson stalk the minions of evil. And in Vienna where Dr. Sigmund Freud must try to cure Holmes of his shocking addiction to cocaine, and unlock the terrible secret hidden in the dark depths of his brilliant mind.

A good Sherlock Holmes adventure with some insight into Holmes' past. The author uses creative license to give us some insight into Holmes' early years and goes on to explain the back-story to many of Holmes' quirks. For me, I liked how Doyle left Holmes' quirks very ambiguous, but the book is a fine read either way.
Just for fun: The Tagline on the back of the book reads "Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud, together again for the first time!". How can they be together again, and still be a first time? Perhaps a Freudian slip?
