The Aristotelian (The Secret Archives of the Diogenes Club)
Summoned home, Cambridge mathematician Mycroft Holmes, must reason with his teenage brother, Sherlock, who has fallen in with unsavory characters and taken to strange activities. Their father, a distracted intellectual, is less distressed by Sherlock’s cocaine use than his single-minded pursuit of “particulars,” putting him at risk of becoming an Aristotelian. Older brother Mycroft attempts to turn him from detective work to a higher vocation. But Sherlock is intent upon solving their mother’s murder and Mycroft reluctantly agrees to assist.
Based on characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Aristotelian” is a short story of young and impetuous Sherlock Holmes pursuing clues while a more thoughtful Mycroft unsuccessfully tries to keep him out of trouble. All the while, a far more subtle mind is pursuing a murderous agenda.
