It's summer 1869 and Sherlock Holmes and his friend Irene celebrate her 16th birthday by attending the theatre to watch the newest London sensation, a celebrated magician makes a real dragon appear on stage. Sherlock and Irene meet the magician, Alistair Hemsworth - just as he is arrested for the murder of his rival, The Wizard of Nottingham. Traces of the missing Wizard's blood and his spectacles were found in Hemsworth's secret studio. Hemsworth has a motive: the Wizard is a rival who caused scandal when he lured Hemsworth's wife. But is he guilty?

Review:
"...The Dragon Turn is a wonderful book. I think its target audience will love it for its adventure, mystery and characters, and, as an older reader, I enjoyed it for the way Peacock wrote Sherlock Holmes."
--Literary Treats "...Peacock's fifth mystery featuring the boy Sherlock Holmes does not disappoint. Drama, love, and a fine trail of clues lead the reader through another memorable romp into the heart of a Victorian murder mystery. This historical novel is rich in detail, setting, and culture."
--Highly Recommended, CM Magazine "...Shane Peacock delivers another intriguing novel exploring the boy detective.... His Sherlock is a penniless but resourceful young man living with an eccentric apothecary who encourages his curiosity and his powers of observation...."
