| | Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Dead Rabbits Society -- book review |
 | | As we learn here for the first time, the great detective also, during that time in which he was believed dead, made his way on a tramp steamer to the New World, specifically to "the burgeoning metropolis" of New York City. |
 | | The club is called "The Dead Rabbits Society", "dead" being 1893-New York City slang meaning "best," and "rabbit" meaning a man to be feared. |
 | | Franklin Dunmore, a member of the Dead Rabbits, is assailed not once but twice and, now fearful for his life, he approaches Simon Hawkes for help in discovering who is trying to kill him, and why that someone wants to him dead. |
