Synopsis

This volume forms part of an eleven-story set in which each piece has a clear connection to literature, whether through celebrated authors or through themes and stories associated with specific writers. The collection’s title is framed by the presence of authorial figures ranging from Maupassant and Stevenson to Fitzgerald.

Alongside these literary associations, the stories are described as being in the tradition of other Sherlock Holmes adventures, presenting a sequence of heartless criminal acts, some more gruesome than others. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes pastiches with an overtly literary angle.
