Synopsis

Twelve enthralling new mysteries from Denis O. Smith, the acknowledged master of the new Sherlock Holmes story

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Denis O. Smith's interests range from logic and the history of London to Victorian society and railways, all of which contribute to giving his stories a true flavour of the period. He lives in the heart of Norfolk, England, from where he makes occasional trips to London to explore some of the capital's more obscure corners.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Is it really possible, do you suppose,' said Sherlock Holmes to me one morning, as we took breakfast together, 'that a healthy and robust man may be so stricken with terror that he drops down dead?'

So begins Dr Watson's account at the beginning of 'The Adventures of the Brown Box', one of twelve new stories in another wonderful collection from acknowledged master of the form, Denis O. Smith. The other mysteries, many of them never previously published in a book, include 'The Adventure of the Velvet Mask', 'The Adventure of the Tomb on the Hill' and 'The Secret of Shoreswood Hall'.

These stories are of the sort most admired by fans of the Great Detective, in which a would-be client tells a strange tale and Holmes is inexorably drawn into a seemingly impenetrable mystery. Fast-paced and set in the in the late-nineteenth century, before Holmes's mysterious disappearance at the Reichenbach Falls, Smith's stories recreate with wonderful fidelity the very best of Conan Doyle's adventures.
