Synopsis

This collection presents five new cases featuring Sherlock Holmes, each set against a distinct backdrop, from a disappearance in 1938 to unsettling developments where athletics and medicine collide. Elsewhere, the stakes widen to include Churchill and the pressures of Realpolitik at Britain’s finest hour, while a sequel to the Bruce Partington Plans draws Mycroft into intricate manoeuvring.

The volume concludes with three Holmesian meditations that turn from narrative to enquiry, examining the enduring puzzle of Holmes himself and proposing a radical theory about the Great Baker Street Detective. Aimed at traditionalists and readers of crime fiction who enjoy a thrilling read.
