Purcell comes one of the most entertaining detective stories of the decade with his new publication, Homes and Dr. Williams. This book is a fast-paced and humor-filled entertaining read for anyone.

As a child, Stanley Homes dreamt of becoming rich, famous and successful. His boyhood hero was his near namesake - the great Sherlock Holmes. As an adult, he realized that 'life' was complicated, hard work and at times, downright difficult, but together with his lifelong friend, Williams, they opened a Detective Agency anyway. Follow Homes and Williams as they travel through the dark and seedy London streets and into glamorous establishments in their attempt to find clues to unravel the mystery for their first official case. Along the way, they meet cut throat gangs, beautiful temptresses and, what some would class, the mentally imbalanced. Will their first endeavor be a success?

Although the story is centered on solving a trivial crime, it has antlers growing in different directions with the hilarious characters stealing the show and with witty humor evident throughout its pages. As a detective wannabe out to solve his first case, Stanley Homes encounters an array of comical and colorful characters which truly bring the book to life. Stanley and Dr. Williams are exceptional modern duo that will reinforce to the readers that living life to the fullest is the best lesson they can ever learn.
