A propos de cet article

First UK edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, top of page block dyed blue as issued, not price clipped (£2.50), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 224pp. By American screen and thriller writer Nicholas Meyer. It is written as a pastiche of a Sherlock Holmes adventure, and was made into a film of the same name in 1976. Published as a 'lost manuscript' of the late Dr. John H. Watson, the book recounts Holmes' recovery from cocaine addiction (with the help of Sigmund Freud) and his subsequent prevention of a European war through the unravelling of a sinister kidnapping plot. It was followed by two other Holmes pastiches by Meyer. Quite scarce.
