If You Like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Books, You’ll Love…

Mycroft Holmes is the first book in the Mycroft Holmes series. The book sees Mycroft Holmes fresh out of Cambridge University and he’s already making a name for himself working for the Secretary of State for War. Mycroft has ties to the island of Trinidad as his fiancee was raised there and his best friend, Cyrus, was born there. When Cyrus starts to get troubling reports from home, reports that include disappearances and spirits enticing children to their deaths, Georgiana heads home. Mycroft convinces his friend that they should follow her and do what they can to figure out just what is happening.

The second book in the series is called Mycroft and Sherlock. There are some gruesome murders in London that are dominating the headlines, none of which is Mycroft’s business, but his brother Sherlock has a fascination for this tip of thing and that is something that Mycroft does not like. Mycroft convinces his brother to take a position as a tutor at his friend’s orphanage. However, this puts Sherlock right in the heart of the murders where he begins to investigate. While Mycroft is on a mission that will send him in the same direction.
