Sherlock deals with the politics of repression.

Lloyd Biggle, who has done some spectacularly odd SF works (see 'The Still, Small Voice of Trumpets'), has shined Sherlock's eye over the poverty-stricken subnation of Wales, roughly a century ago. Holmes' companion (not Dr. Watson, who couldn't make this trip) tells us richly of the milieu, and Holmes finds the most telling clues right in plain sight. The rural Welsh characters are as real as Dickens' London townsfolk, and just as pinched. I loved it! Watson didn't write the tales this well...
