Hybrid: Murder by the Book

The title for this month is Mycroft Holmes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 

This novel, written by retired NBA basketball superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tells a story about Mycroft Holmes, a Cambridge University graduate who has made his name in the British government as Secretary of State. Holmes has strong ties to Trinidad, which is the birthplace of his best friend Cyrus Douglas, and where his fiancée Georgiana Sutton was raised. Mycroft’s comfortable existence is overturned when Douglas receives troubling reports from home. Upon hearing the news, Sutton abruptly departs for Trinidad and Mycroft convinces Douglas, they should follow her, drawing the two men into a web of dark secrets that grows more treacherous with each step they take.
