      Writer Jonathan Barnes commented: “This narrative stems from another intriguing reference in Doyle’s works, concerning a young man, Bert Stevens, who sought Holmes' assistance to evade a murder charge – a small suggestion from which one could explore a variety of directions. My aim has been to remain faithful to the essence of the story that Doyle hints at.”
