Remarkable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes HARDCOVER

“Holmes is the quintessential force for good: the fierce intellect capable of resolving the most complex problems and doing so for us, his fellow citizens of that London suspended forever in time, somewhere between 1881 and the First World War. These were more innocent times in some ways, perhaps, or times that just seemed simpler to us in contrast to the chaos of the modern age (they really weren’t), and to walk through the pages of history offers a safe perspective. Holmes and Watson are our guides to this age, then, and we can feel entirely safe in their company”.

Assembled here for the first time are ten adventures of the Great Detective from Sherlockian author Mike Adamson (Sherlock Holmes: A Tradition of Evil), each one carefully crafted and curated for the canonical collector:

• The Mystery of the Extraneous Cadaver
• His Wonders to Perform
• The Price of a Life
• The Dark Streets *
• The Babbington Inheritance
• A Very Lethal Mercy
• A Temptation Irresistible *
• Lord Berresford’s Indiscretion *
• The Shadow of the New
• A Damnation in Negative

* unique to this volume

Many of these stories have appeared in collections from Belanger Books and MX Publishing, as well as Strand Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. The adventure “A Temptation Irresistible” was originally published in Strand Magazine under the title “The Affair of the Russian Violinist” in a substantially rewritten version. We present the original version of the story here, which is closer to the author’s style and intent.
