The second in a series of stories about Anna Kronberg, a woman physician who hid her identity and masqueraded as a man, The Fall is a book worth reading.
Arch-nemesis of Sherlock Holmes, James Moriarty captures Anna and forces her to continue her research, turning it into the development of biological weapons, while Sherlock tries to aid her and extract her from his clutches.
Both The Devil's Grin and this book do full justice to the Holmesian tradition and to the historical period in which they are set.
Though I can't say much more without revealing details of the plot which is cleverly written with the knowledge of a mind trained in the scientific method, I can say that I highly recommend both books.
