Synopsis

Holmes and Watson return for thirteen unexpected investigations, split across two parts. The first ranges from an alleged haunting at the Diogenes Club and vandalism at a prominent art gallery to a frightened amnesiac, a criminal takeover of 221B, and the sequel to “The Engineer’s Thumb”. Other cases involve the defiling of Holmes’ Stradivarius violin and a Christmas-set mystery in a graveyard marked by angry insults carved into headstones.

Part Two shifts into alternate universes and encounters with well-known historical and fictional figures. The title story centres on a campaign to slander Watson with rumours surrounding Reichenbach Falls, while other cases include a real-life murder aboard a train, a collaboration with G. K. Chesterton’s Father Brown, and an investigation connected to a plagiarism lawsuit involving H. G. Wells. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes short stories and inventive variations on classic detective fiction.
