Following the success of the earlier volume, The Baker Street Legacy, we have another collection of previously unknown Holmes and Watson tales that will excite the interests of readers across the globe - The Baker Street Epilogue. A decade before his death, Dr. Watson let it be known that with his passing he wished his nephew, Christopher Henry Watson MD, to be the executor of his will and guardian of all his personal and pecuniary affairs. One of the tasks he sanctioned was that his nephew should use his discretion in selecting for publication some of the three dozen or so cases involving Holmes and Watson which had not already seen the light of day. The six stories in this new volume are more overlooked gems. The first in the collection, The Curse of Cuttleborough, is set in 1883 and sees Holmes and Watson investigating a suspicious death for their client, the famous amateur cricketer Dr. W. G. Grace. The Paradol Chamber has our heroes looking into the affairs of the London-based Prévost-Paradol Society, a social, literary and debating club. From the mystery of The Groaning Stone to the threats posed by The Recalcitrant Rhymester, there is, as always, much to entertain and enthral us. As before, all of these tales are designed to contribute in some small part to the lasting memory of two extraordinary men who once occupied that setting we have come to know and love as 221B Baker Street. As ever, ‘The game is afoot!’

A Farewell to Baker Street

Giallo - romanzo breve (74 pagine) - Un'avventura internazionale che ha a che fare con la guerra, il dolore, l’ereditarietà e la redenzione Nel 1926, mentre si trova in visita nella casa di Holmes, ormai in pensione, nella sua piccola proprietà nel Sussex, Watson si trova invischiato nell’ultimo caso che condividerà con il collega. A Trimingham Manor, nel Surrey, è stato trovato il cadavere di un avvocato, e la polizia sembra perplessa. Il sospettato principale è un giovane servitore tedesco di nome Heinz Descartes, che sembra svanito nel nulla. Ciò che Holmes e Watson svelano è una trama internazionale che ha a che fare con la guerra, il dolore, l’ereditarietà e la redenzione. Mark Mower è un autore e storico britannico la cui passione per le avventure di Sherlock Holmes e del dottor Watson è iniziata all’età di dodici anni, quando ha visto un film in bianco e nero interpretato dagli impareggiabili Basil Rathbone e Nigel Bruce. Si è poi immediatamente procurato le storie originali di Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; la sua continua ricerca di altri adattamenti cinematografici e versioni televisive è diventata un’ossessione che non lo ha abbandonato da allora. Membro della Crime Writers’ Association e della Sherlock Holmes Society di Londra, Mark ha scritto numerosi libri che trattano di omicidi e misteri, sia reali che di fantasia. Il suo primo racconto con protagonisti Homes e Watson, The Strange Missive of Germaine Wilkes, è apparso all’interno di The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories – Volume 1 (MX Publishing, 2015). La sua raccolta di racconti con protagonista Holmes, A Farewell to Baker Street (MX Publishing, 2015), è stata pubblicato poco più tardi. Oltre a scrivere, Mark è docente di criminologia e storia sociale. Vive in Inghilterra, nel Suffolk, non lontano da Beccles.

Sherlock Holmes e l'avventura di Trimingham

Following the success of the earlier volume, The Baker Street Case-Files, we have another collection of previously unknown Holmes and Watson tales that will excite the interests of readers across the globe - The Baker Street Legacy. A decade before his death, Dr Watson let it be known that with his passing he wished his nephew, Christopher Henry Watson MD, to be the executor of his will and guardian of all his personal and pecuniary affairs. One of the tasks he sanctioned was that his nephew should use his discretion in selecting for publication some of the three dozen or so cases involving Holmes and Watson which had not already seen the light of day. The eight stories in this volume are more overlooked gems. The first in the collection, A Day at the Races, is set in 1880, before Dr Watson had become the chief chronicler of the Great Detective’s work. The French Affair is a fascinating tale set in that period beyond 1891 when the world was led to believe that Holmes had died at the Reichenbach Falls grappling with the villainous Professor Moriarty. From the allure of The Fashionably-Dressed Girl to the operation of The Influence Machine, there is, as always, much to entertain and enthral us. As before, all of these tales are designed to contribute in some small part to the lasting memory of two extraordinary men who once occupied that setting we have come to know and love as 221B Baker Street. Once again, ‘The game is afoot!’
