Synopsis

Set in the early years of Holmes’s career in the 1880s, these twelve cases range from the curious clauses of a miser’s will to a sinister tradition rooted in an old Tudor manor-house. Each mystery turns on an unsettling question: a cardboard packet of children’s bricks arriving by post, a man found dying in a deserted East End warehouse, or a late-night visitor hammering at the door of an isolated cottage.

Across the collection, Sherlock Holmes is tasked with unpicking these puzzles and bringing the investigations to their conclusions. Described as a new set of Holmes short stories, the book is written by Denis O. Smith, who aims to recreate the atmosphere and excitement of Conan Doyle’s original tales for readers who enjoy classic-style detective fiction.
