By S. F. Bennett
A PERPLEXING PAIR OF PROBLEMS FOR OUR PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR!
THE CASE OF THE TWO SURVIVORS
A Civil War cannon. A lit fuse. A lethal explosion. Inspector Athelney Jones names Sherlock Holmes as a person of interest in this suspicious death. As the few remaining members of a tontine die off one-by-one, our heroes must race against time to save one of the last names on the list – Mycroft Holmes!
THE CASE OF THE ASSURED ASSASSIN
“You ask how you may be of assistance to me. Well, my dear sir, what I ask is quite simple.”
“It is?”
“Oh, yes. I want you to assist me in the murder of Sherlock Holmes.”
A sinister stranger threatens Dr. Watson at gunpoint to help him assassinate Sherlock Holmes – or watch helplessly as he murders Watson’s beloved wife Mary! The doctor must make an impossible decision, in which every choice leads to death!
