London 1888: Overshadowed by the exploits of Jack the Ripper, another serial criminal is creating fear and alarm among the wealthier residents of London. Dubbed “The Spanking Dervish”, the miscreant targets young ladies late at night, breaking into their homes, pulling them from their beds, ripping off their nightclothes and administering a severe thrashing to their naked backsides before disappearing into the darkness. When he attacks a lady of the Royal Household, Queen Victoria is not amused and calls in Sherlock Holmes to catch the perpetrator, much to the consternation of the ever-faithful yet singularly innocent Dr Watson when Holmes deems it necessary to visit specialist brothels to research the case.

Grendel Butler brilliantly recreates the style and atmosphere of the original Sherlock Holmes stories in this witty, exciting and mildly erotic tale of Victorian London.
