Synopsis

This third volume brings together six stories in which Holmes turns his attention to a varied set of puzzles and provocations. The cases range from unsettling incidents at a medical practice neighbouring Dr Watson, to missing autograph manuscripts in Fascist Italy, and a London mystery set in 1894/95 that draws in climate change and an unexpected birth.

Elsewhere, the investigations touch on tax evasion linked to the London Softwear Company, the place of cricket in the rise of Hitler, and a Kafkaesque legal tangle that anticipates the banking crash of 2007/08. Pearson blends elements of the Canon with historical events from different periods to frame fresh challenges for the Baker Street sleuth.
