It was the time of Queen Victoria's "Little Wars" and the "War to
End All Wars." It was also the time of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John
Watson. Watson, the man, would be formed by his experiences in the
British "Second Afghan War," before he ever met Sherlock Holmes in
an adventure, he would record this experience as Watson's Afghan
Adventure, a tale of war and mystery. Later, Holmes and Watson
would go on to not only share the problems of crime solving,
Watson's three marriages, a purported tragedy at Reichenbach, and
Holmes's return from the dead; they would also share two more
wartime experiences. In Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Boer
Wagon, they are called on by Mycroft Holmes and the British
government to go to the battleground of South Africa. Their mission
is to stop the flow of army secrets to the Boers and try to recover
a King's ransom in gold. By the time of their third great wartime
adventure the two friends are retired, but Mycroft, and the
government, need them once more as they are called on in Sherlock
Holmes and the Irish Rebels. Holmes and Watson had already foiled
the plans of a German espionage ring at the start of the Great War
in the tale Watson called "His Last Bow." But it was not, in
reality, Holmes's last bow. Holmes and Watson are sent now to the
little war within a war, the killing fields of Dublin in 1916 and
the Irish Rebellion. Can they stop it? And can they stop the plans
of a renegade member of the Dublin Metropolitan Police? . A special
hardback edition including all three bestselling Sherlock Holmes
novels from Kieran McMullen.
