Holmes (1854-1891?) #4

Moody and atmospheric, this fourth book in Cecil and Brunschwig's Holmes (1854–1891?) series presents a striking cover portrait of an elderly woman seated in near-darkness, a shaft of pale light illuminating her composed, watchful face — a figure who commands attention without uttering a word. The story title "De dame van Scutari" hints at history and intrigue, suggesting a world where the threads of the past are never quite finished unraveling. Cecil's artwork, rendered in deep shadows and restrained tones, gives this 2019 Dutch-language volume a quietly compelling gravitas.
