Murder, deception and the long shadow of Moriarty. All in a day's
work for the great Sherlock Holmes.
The unpublished manuscripts of Dr John Watson, concealed for years
in the depths of a Charing Cross bank vault, are now brought to
light. Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend and biographer must
solve cases as complex as any they have known before. Some may even
bring them face to face with old enemies from the past, figures left
behind in the mists of the Reichenbach Falls . . .
A widow with three hands slips out of a church door . . . A farmer
lies dead in a barn, his son accused of his murder . . . A skeleton
with a silver locket is unearthed in a back garden. What do they
have in common? The famous resident of 221B Baker Street. A brand
new cache of original cases displays the master of the art of
deduction at his intriguing best, proving that the game is still
very much afoot.
