Book Overview

Return to the terror and excitement of the Victorian age in the company of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H Watson. Throughout his long career, Holmes often encountered individuals whose misdeeds either seemed to resonate back from the distant past, or who entered the history books for various deeds. Comprising the collections 'This Terrible Business' and 'Thrust & Parry, ' within are eight recently unearthed cases related by Dr Watson in the finest tradition and spirit of such classics as 'The Adventure of Silver Blaze' and 'The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual.'

THIS TERRIBLE BUSINESS: Mr. Sherlock Holmes was a great student of the history of crime, for he knew that there was nothing new under the sun. The lessons of the past shine brightly in these chronicles of some of Holmes's most singular and terrible cases, all of which Dr Watson was forbidden from releasing during their lifetime. Within are the details of an injustice that brings Holmes back to Dartmoor, a ruse worthy of the finest of actors, a murder disguised as an apparent act of God, and a man bizarrely killed in five different ways. This collection includes the tales 'The Adventure of the Signed Remains, ' 'The Adventure of the Sensational Stratagem, 'The Adventure of the Epic Wrath, ' and 'The Adventure of the Five Deaths.'

THRUST & PARRY: Mr. Sherlock Holmes was no stranger to working on behalf of certain illustrious clients whose exploits have graced the history books. He loved nothing more than a great contest of wits against a well-matched opponent, but was equally willing to engage in a more rough-and-tumble struggle when such physical work was called for. Within are the details of a terrible death with political implications in rebellious Ireland, an ancient riddle leading to a mythical treasure, a quest to locate a kidnapped queen, and Holmes's final bout in the boxing ring. This collection includes the tales 'The Adventure of the Dark Waters, ' 'The Adventure of the Loring Riddle, ' 'The Adventure of the Imprisoned Monarch, ' and 'The Adventure of the Hallowed Ring.'
