Synopsis

Set on New Year’s Eve, 1922, this book centres on a dinner party hosted by a questionable collector of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia. Over the course of the evening, the host presents a series of demonstrations drawing on the mind-powers of Dr Joseph Bell, the Great Detective’s approach to personality profiling, and a range of unusual objects, including a deck of cards rumoured to have belonged to Jack the Ripper and finger rings linked to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Cottingley Fairies.

Part novella and part instructional magic book, it also explains how to recreate the featured feats, including how to “fake it” as a master detective. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes-themed fiction alongside practical demonstrations.
