It is 1910, a widowed Dr Watson moves back to Baker Street to
discover that age has done nothing to dim his old friend's thirst
for mystery and deduction. One morning after Watson returns from a
client to find Holmes in a bright mood - the reason? Holmes and
Watson have been invited to the farewell concert of celebrated
former Prima Donna of the Warsaw Opera - Irene Adler. The Woman
requests their presence! What happens when Holmes meets his one
female equal twenty years after their first, curious meeting which
Watson described in "A Scandal in Bohemia".
Following on from the bestselling Hidden Aberdeen, Fiona-Jane Brown
now presents a brand new volume, Hidden Aberdeenshire: The Coast,
exploring the rich history and the most fascinating, quirky stories
from the windswept lands beside the North Sea. There's the story of
James Keith, brother of the 10th Earl or Marischal, whose statue
stands in Peterhead - but few know why; Captain Gray's House, where
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took up a post as ship's surgeon on a whaler
owned by one of the most successful whaling captains of the
nineteenth century; the tale of the Frasers, the family who lost
their castle and generations later reclaimed it; the mystery of the
university that never was; plus many more. Hidden Aberdeenshire:
The Coast is a fascinating and entertaining collection of forgotten
history and anecdotes from Scotland's North-East, pieced together
by historian Dr Fiona-Jane Brown.
