This is the third collection of seven stories I have read by this author, another such collection supposedly found in a trunk by a descendant of Doctor Watson, consisting of Holmes stories unpublished during their partnership for one reason or another. Another authentic-feeling set of stories, though in a couple of them it was difficult to see why Holmes had become involved, and the reasons for several of the stories' non-disclosure at the time of their happening a bit unconvincing. Overall, a good read though if you're a fan of Conan Doyle's original stories. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

In Sherlock Holmes's London, reputations are fragile and scandal can be ruinous. In order to protect the names of the good (and not-so-good), Dr Watson comes to the decision that his accounts of some of his friend's most brilliant cases must never see the light of day. Concealing the manuscripts in an old despatch box deep in the vaults of a Charing Cross bank, Dr Watson preserves the honour of others and in doing so proves himself a true gentleman as well as a good friend. But then a hundred years pass, and the mysteries outlast the memories of those they once could have harmed?An aluminium crutch betrays the criminal who relies upon it for support? An Italian Cardinal lies dead in a muddy yard in Spitalfields? What do a pair of suspiciously successful gamblers have in common with the Transylvanian mind-reader, Count Rakoczi? And can Holmes and Watson outwit the jewel thief who has the nerve to steal from the King of Scandinavia? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
