WATSON'S AMERICAN TALE When Sherlock Holmes, who was presumed dead
at the hands of his arch nemesis, Professor Moriarty, returned in
the story Dr.Watson chronicles as "The Adventure of the Empty
House," we were told how the Great Detective had spent the
intervening years abroad in disguise as a secret agent for England.
For the devoted Holmes fan, that seemed sufficient to close this
chapter of the duo's life and move on to new adventure. But when a
heavy locker box arrives at 221 B Baker St. from the United States
addressed to Dr. Watson, it is Holmes who finds his curiosity
piqued. What is in the mysterious box? Who sent it and why? Holmes
summons his loyal companion who in turn sets about telling Holmes
of his own unique adventure abroad during his hiatus. What follows
is an amazing mystery involving Watson's lovely wife, Mary, and her
family history. The answer to the puzzle rests in the foothills of
the Adirondacks of upper New York State and the couple soon set
sail for America, Mary hoping the trip will pull her husband's mood
from the gloom in which it was mired since the supposed death of
Holmes. Once in New York, they encounter the vibrant, colorful
civil servant, Teddy Roosevelt, who provides the vital clue that
triggers the Watsons' quest? From the majestic peaks of the
Adirondacks to open plains of the wild west, Erwin K. Roberts spins
a fantastic, rip-roaring yarn that will have Holmes and Watson fans
cheering from the first page to the last. +++ PULP Bonus - "Hyde
and Seek" A brand adventure starring her Majesty's Secret Agent,
Hound Dog Harker by Aaron Smith.
