Synopsis

This collection presents twelve “sequels – of sorts” to the original stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, first published in The Strand between 1891 and 1892. Each piece is framed as a conversation between Holmes and Watson, set immediately after the close of one of the canonical Adventures.

Rather than offering fresh investigations in the traditional manner, the stories examine inconsistencies and contradictions within the originals, pulling them apart and reworking them into something deliberately sly and thought-provoking. Alongside Sherlockian references and cross-links between the individual tales, the book also weaves in works from London’s National Gallery, drawing attention to overlooked symbols and meanings. Suited to readers who enjoy attentive, unhurried reading and a more reflective take on Holmes and Watson.
