Synopsis

This collection opens with a series of intriguing questions: why Dr Watson is in an invalid chair at a Turkish bath, what draws Holmes and Watson back to the boarding house in A Study in Scarlet, and what lies inside a carpetbag delivered by a dustman from an earlier case. Other mysteries range from a stolen violin to the discovery of a body at 221B Baker Street.

Across these strange and unusual investigations, Holmes and Watson find themselves protecting the government and serving as unofficial bodyguards as they work towards answers. The nine pastiches were published in Sherlock Holmes anthologies by Belanger Books (US), MX Publishing (UK) and Proceedings of the Pondicherry Lodge, the Sherlock Holmes Society of India.
