Synopsis

From the cold-blooded murder of a man well known in London's Bohemian society, to a sinister tradition in an old Tudor manor-house, these six cases, from the early years of Holmes's career in the 1880s, present a singular collection of mysteries for the world's first consulting detective to resolve.

Who is it that bangs on the front door of Mr Lidington's isolated cottage in the dead of night? Why does Henry Barton's job interview proceed in such a surprising and unpredictable way? What is the secret of the man from Chile and his strange, silent wife? Sherlock Holmes must find the answers to these and many other puzzling questions if he is to bring these cases to a successful conclusion.

About this title

Review:

Praise for a previous volume by Denis O. Smith [the Lost Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes]: "In this collection, Smith again demonstrates his gift for crafting new exploits of the Great Detective that combine a pitch-perfect Watsonian narrative voice with clever plots that allow Holmes to demonstrate his deductive brilliance... Smith is adept at generating suspense, even in stories not dependent on violence. His traditional approach will appeal to readers who want period mysteries featuring characters Conan Doyle would have no trouble recognizing." Review, Publishers Weekly, February 2014
