When the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is accused of murder, adultery and plagiarism, there is only one team that can clear his name. Holmes and Watson, with the help of a little time travel, head to Devon to solve the most important mystery they have ever faced. After all, if Conan Doyle is found guilty, then it could spell the end of the Sherlock Holmes legacy.

The indomitable Baker Street duo travel to the still wild areas of South Texas to investigate the puzzling disappearance of an heir to the great estate in the part of the South West known as The Wild Horse Desert. The pair travel by steamship to the Texas coast and then overland to the Rancho Royal where mystery awaits them. This is the second Sherlock Holmes pastiche from celebrated cartoonist Dicky Neely. 'The Case of The Grave Accusation' had Holmes and Watson travel to the future to clear the name of their creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book featured input from the real life murder case brought against Conan Doyle a few years ago and received great reviews from Holmes fans.
