A stunning collection of seven brand-new novellas featuring the redoubtable Sherlock Holmes and his chronicler Dr John Watson.
Eliminate the impossible…
Sherlock Holmes lives on in this extraordinary collection of brand-new novellas. Marvel as the master detective scours London’s sewers to expose the killer of a mudlark; attends a deadly séance that may prove a man’s guilt; visits a dark carnival with an unusual menu; solves the murder of an Egyptologist’s butler; uncovers the shocking secret of a tobacco dealer; sets sail for America to investigate the death of a cult leader and settles an old score for his famous associate Inspector Lestrade!
Irene Adler, American opera singer and the one woman who outsmarted
Sherlock Holmes, finds herself a widow at thirty-two, wealthy but
emotionally broken. At the same time, Sherlock Holmes finds himself
unable to return to England after faking his death at Reichenbach
Falls and is drawn into an investigation of two men with designs on
a woman they call Miss A, who is none other than Irene Adler
herself. The Detective and The Woman throw their lot in together to
uncover a dangerous plot with implications that stretch across the
Atlantic. In the process, they meet legendary inventor Thomas
Edison and experience life in Florida at the turn of the 20th
century.
The mysterious death of Irene Adler's bees leads to a consultation
with Sherlock Holmes and the discovery of a sinister connection to
a case many years in the past. When this threat imperils the safety
of everyone the detective holds dear, he and The Woman are forced
to use every ounce of their ingenuity to save their friends.
Irene Adler is enjoying a quiet, undisturbed life in Sussex when
the mysterious disappearance of a local farmer named James
Phillimore throws her world into turmoil and forces her to enlist
the aid of her friend and former enemy Sherlock Holmes. Irritated
by his flatmate John Watson's romantic inclinations, Holmes
journeys to Fulworth to assist The Woman in her investigation.
Along the way, the two uncover the darkness, intrigue, scandal, and
unexpected loyalty that lie at the heart of a seemingly-innocent
village and a case filled with diabolical deception.
