    Tom's eyes bored into Basil's. "I admire and respect you as a brilliant detective, but I must speak frankly. Your chances of capturing J.J. are practically zero. The obstacles are too many and too great. In my opinion, Basil, you're on an impossible mission!"

      Basil, the great mouse detective, heads west to capture the nortorious J. J. But like his hero Sherlock Holmes and his quest to defeat the nortorious Moriarty, sometimes the fight must continue on another day. The delightful series is marvelously narrated by Ralph Lister whose various voices add much to the telling of the mystery.
    • 3/5
      I think this is the last Basil of Baker Street mystery that Eve Titus wrote. I made myself read all of them; I think I would have most likely gotten a lot more enjoyment out of them when I was a kid. My main complaint is that the plots are too convoluted while also being stupid. In this last one, Basil and Dr. Dawson thwart smugglers who are stealing antiquities from Mexico. Then there's some weird plot about wild horses and horses providing mice transportation in the old west. Then they go to hotel in Arizona where there is a "ghost" haunting the property and scaring the guests away. One of the culprits is a faux librarian from Boston who gets caught because she misquotes Shakespeare. Um, yeah.
