Watson, John H.(Fictitious character),author.
Little, John A.,1945-editor,author.
It is 1925.  Watson, alone since the death of his second wife, learns of another death.  Mycroft Holmes was found dead at his club.  Watson was surprised not to see Sherlock Holmes at the funeral, but, in fact, the officiating clergyman was the surviving brother, in disguise.  Meeting at 221B after the service, Watson discovers new paint, new furniture, and a new Hudson.  Then Holmes reveals that Mycroft had not, in fact, died of natural causes.  Mycroft had been brutally murdered by someone determined to erase the men, then called "musical" -- gay men.  A note, left with Mycroft's body, says the murderer  has a list of targets, and Sherlock's name is high on the list.
