About the Book

In these eleven meticulously constructed cases written in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the intellectual prowess of Sherlock Holmes, the sleuth hound, is tested to the utmost.

Once again, ably assisted by his friend and biographer, Dr John H Watson MD, an always welcome, steadying influence upon Holmes’s often manic, dangerous tendencies, the reader shall be drawn into a Victorian England of steam railways, of hansoms, of gaslight, of dun-coloured fogs to witness London’s uniquely talented consulting detective solve some of his most extraordinary and baffling mysteries ever to appear in print.
