  Sherlock Holmes has learned by chance from the New York Times that the New York Police are still investigating the unsolved fire in a textile factory, in which over one hundred and fifty seamstresses lost their lives because they couldn't escape the building from the flames. When Holmes is approached about this by the husband of a woman who is still hospitalized with injuries, he agrees to inspect the accident site. Naturally, he promises his partner and personal physician Doctor Watson "solemnly" not to take on any new criminal cases during their vacation together. But when Holmes arrives at the burned factory, he must discover that the accident site is actually a crime scene, in which the New York Police might not be entirely uninvolved.

  Flatlands is believable and complex. This story ranks with the classic depictions of the marvel that was the Old West, that great, vanished moment in history; within its strong atmosphere of reality, fiction intertwines with known facts of the time. This novel is a study in the strength of interaction between individuals of the same family or group, and explores stress and loyalty in the face of hostile odds. 
   
  Flatlands rewards the reader with rich insight into character and situation. Its individual tune interrupts shock and sorrow with irresistible laughter. A gripping original.
