Book Overview

by Van Allen Plexico (Author), Andrew Salmon (Author), I. a. Watson (Author)

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. WatsonVictorian England, a time of historic significance as the world was poised expectantly for the coming wonders and terrors of the new century. Amidst this atmosphere of anticipation and intrigue, one man emerged as a beacon of logic and cold, calculating reason in an unsettling time: Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective and his trusted friend and chronicler, Dr. John H. Watson.A famous soccer player is found dead in the clubhouse. An unidentified stowaway is murdered aboard a U.S. Navy warship while another man is found asphyxiated in an empty, locked room. These are several of the twisted puzzles challenging the Baker Street sleuth as he once again takes up the hunt on the fog-ridden streets of London accompanied by his faithful ally, Dr. Watson.Writers Aaron Smith, Andrew Salmon, Van Allen Plexico and Ian Watson have set forth exciting new mysteries done in the traditional style of the original Holmes stories as written by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There are no space aliens or howling werewolves here, simply good, old-fashioned whodunits. So arm yourself for danger and all manner of villainy as once agin, the game is afoot!

About I. a. Watson
On I.A Watson's library mantelpiece there's a trophy for Best Pulp Short Story from the Pulp Factory Awards. It journeyed to Yorkshire, England from the "Ian can't be with us here tonight..." ceremony in Chicago, America and it arrived in pieces. There's one bit still missing, perhaps because that's the part that looks like a gold nib and a customs inspector might have thought was (a) valuable or (b) a terrorist weapon. But there the award stands, battered but unbowed, surrounded by thousands of beloved books and a few actually written by the library's award-winning owner; who is also battered but mostly unbowed, and who still thankfully has all his bits. So, I.A.Watson is author of a Robin Hood trilogy: King of Sherwood, Arrow of Justice, and the soon-to-be-released Freedom's Outlaw. He's been a contributor to all three Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective anthologies. His stories have appeared in Gideon Cain: Demon Hunter, The New Adventures of Richard Knight, Blood-Price of the Missionary's Gold, Sentinels: Alternate Visions, Sinbad: The New Adventures, and of course Blackthorn: Thunder on Mars, which is what got him into this mess of having to write an "About the Author" piece here in the first place. All the rest and a scary photo are on his website at: http: //www.chillwater.org.uk/writing/iawatsonhome.htm
