FIRST BALLANTINE BOOKS EDITION. June 1977 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK. Nicholas Meyer (Target Practice). A month of strange happenings in the West End. First, there is the bizarre murder of theater critic Jonathan McCarthy. Then, there is the lawsuit against the Marquess of Queensberry for libel; the public is scandalized. Next, the ingenue at the Savoy is discovered with her throat slashed. And a police surgeon disappears, taking two corpses with him. Some of the theater district's most fashionable and creative luminaries have been a penniless stage critic and writer named Bernard Shaw; Ellen Terry, the gifted and beautiful actress; a suspicious box office clerk named Bram Stoker; an aging matinee idol, Henry Irving; an unscrupulous publisher calling himself Frank Harris; and a controversial wit by the name of Oscar Wilde. Scotland Yard is mystified by what appear to be unrelated cases, but to Sherlock Holmes the matter is a maniac is on the loose. - Goodreads
