Sherlock Holmes : the Trilogy by John RODDA Pdf

This volume contains the three books Sherlock Holmes at He- Goats- Ridge; Sherlock Holmes and The Bible Killer; Sherlock Holmes and The Christmas Ghost. It also publishes for the first time a fourth short story, A Requiem for Robert Brownlow. The stories are not reliant upon one-another in that they can be read as stand alone stories but the fourth of these does not follow that principle, it follows the Christmas story and is best read in that way. The books are brought together as a mini series as Dr. Watson reflects on cases past. He does not claim them to be anything more than they are, accounts of cases which, over many years of association with Sherlock Holmes, have some special place in his memory. It often seems that Holmes and Watson together form one whole person. Whilst Holmes appears detached from ordinary day to day concerns, Watson immerses himself in those very concerns. Holmes is after all a consulting detective, Watson is a doctor. One deals in fantastic constructions of the mind, the other in broken bodies. Yet that is too simple a construction. In the stories we find the two men can and often do 'swap over' as it were.I like to think of Holmes and Watson as friends I might consult when faced with difficult decisions. Perhaps others feel the same. It would be a comfort to know two views could be fairly presented to me from which I determine my own course of action. Sadly for me and for others that can not be, though the thought occurs that if two such people who possessed such traits were known to any of us how valuable would they prove to be!So to the stories. Death, theft and duplicity are in abundance. So to is harsh reality and humour. The world of Dr. Watson and his famous colleague is reconstructed as best it can be with limited knowledge and a long lens.I hope they please.

The Theatrical Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,William Gillette Pdf

Sherlock Holmes takes to the stage in four entertaining play scripts written between 1899 and 1921 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette. Even though Sherlock Holmes had fallen to his supposed death at the culmination of 'The Final Problem' in December 1893, it proved very difficult to keep the great detective down as this collection of theatrical play scripts proves. Presented are: SHERLOCK HOLMES - A DRAMA IN FOUR ACTS (1899, by William Gillette and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle); THE PAINFUL PREDICAMENT OF SHERLOCK HOLMES (1905, attributed to William Gillette); THE SPECKLED BAND - AN ADVENTURE OF MISTER SHERLOCK HOLMES (1910, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and THE CROWN DIAMOND - AN EVENING WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES (1921, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle). This collection also contains an introduction written by Paul Stuart Hayes, the author of REQUIEM FOR SHERLOCK HOLMES, which sets the scene for Sherlock Holmes' stage debut and focuses on each of the four productions presented in this volume.

Mysteries and Adventures by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

Originally published in Great Britain in 1890 by the Walter Scott Company, Mysteries and Adventures collected together seven of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's earliest fictional works. Three years later, two international editions were issued and these featured five additional stories. Conan Doyle was not to profit from any of these ventures as, in order to have the stories carried by popular journals of the day, he had signed over all rights to their owners. Prior to their appearance in book form, several had been printed without credit and were not commonly known to be the work of Conan Doyle. The narratives in Mysteries and Adventures dance confidently across the genres, touching upon colonial life, political upheaval, the supernatural, romance and the furrow he would later plough to great acclaim, crime. These twelve entertaining tales plot Doyle's development from budding young writer to the great author that he quickly became.

The Redacted Sherlock Holmes - Volume 2 by Orlando Pearson Pdf

Volume II of the Redacted Sherlock Holmes presents more stories manifestly too scandalous to publish in the lifetime of the Great Baker Street detective. Here we meet Sherlock Holmes as he investigates: - why the publication of a British Government report of a recent war is being delayed; - the continued career of James Windibank, villain of A Case of Identity; - the mystery behind the commissioner of a musical masterpiece; - a notorious killing in 1930’s Berlin; and - the complex relationship between Queen Victoria, her family and her domestic servants. Finally, The Adventure of the Fourth Messenger elucidates the contribution of Sherlock Holmes to the writing of the Bible. Mr Pearson mixes canonical stories, history and speculation to produce a sensationally entertaining brew which all lovers of serious sleuthing will find themselves unable to put down. In this volume: - The Alcock Report - The Camberwell Tyrant - An Anonymous Commission - The German Interpreter - The Prince and the Munshi - The Adventure of the Fourth messenger

Dr. Watson, after the recent death of his first wife, is asked to call in Holmes to investigate a mysterious "ghost" who haunts a French opera house.

Dust and Shadow by Lyndsay Faye Pdf

In Dust and Shadow Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack the Ripper with impeccably accurate historical detail, rooting the Whitechapel investigation in the fledgling days of tabloid journalism and clinical psychology. This astonishing debut explores the terrifying prospect of hunting down one of the world's first serial killers without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling. Sherlock's desire to stop the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in an effort to do so he hires an "unfortuate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel attempting to catch the villain, and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the crimes, he must use all his resources in a desperate race to find the man known as "The Knife" before it is too late. Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, Dust and Shadow recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved and world-renowned characters, while testing the limits of their strength in a fight to protect the women of London, Scotland Yard, and the peace of the city itself.

His Last Bow by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

”Doyle’s modesty of language conceals a profound tolerance of the human complexity”-John Le Carré ”Holmes has a timeless talent, passion and literary brilliance that puts him heads, shoulders and deerstalker above all other detectives.”- Alexander McCall Smith “The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work gives him a unique place in English letters.”-Stephen Fry Arthur Conan Doyle’s His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes(1917) is an outstanding collection of some of the later stories and most dramatic exploits of Detective Holmes and Dr. Watson. These stories were composed between 1908 and 1917, with the exception of the infamous tale “The Cardboard Box”, which was written in 1893. Six of these adventures were initially published The Strand magazine, and the final titular story was published in 1917, in Collier’s magazine. Set in the foggy moors of England and in the dark alleyways of Victorian London, this classic collection includes some of the best detective yarns ever written. His Last Bow includes a short preface written Dr. Watson, then moves to other highlights including the espionage story “The Adventure of the Bruce Partington Plans”, featuring Sherlock Holmes’s brother, Mycroft; “The Adventure of the Red Circle”, the evocative case of a mysterious tenant and abduction that leads to an Italian criminal syndicate; and final story, “The Last Bow”, a favorite among fans as it features Holmes coming out of his retirement as a detective to work as an undercover agent on the eve of the First World War. This classic of crime literature is a must-have collection for Sherlock Holmes fans. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is both modern and readable.

A Taste for Blood by David Stuart Davies Pdf

The sixth novel in the Detective Johnny (One Eye) Hawke series. Two laser-sharp detectives, two thought-provoking cases and two skilful plots. Featuring private investigator Johnny (One Eye) Hawke, and his one-time colleague in the police force Detective David Llewellyn. Llewellyn is investigating the chilling crimes of a top psychiatrist and his scheming patient who the doctor believes has knuckled under his authority. In the meantime, Hawke is on the case of a mysterious suicide in Edgware Road... soon discovered as not your average suicide. The guts and insight of the two investigators bring both cases to a head - though you won't even begin to see how until you have turned the last pages. Review: “This is a delightful read because you are not quite sure what will happen and you are hooked enough to keep on reading. Enjoyable.” – J Robert Ewbank, author “Interesting mystery that takes place in the 1930’s in England. Private Investigator Johnny Hawke is investigating a suicide that seems off and his police buddy, Detective David Llewellyn is investigating a bloody crime involving an escaped convict and a psychiatrist. The two stories merge for a twisted ending. The details are grisly and the main villain enjoys his victims just a bit too much. But other than that, it was a good story with an unpredictable ending – just how I like my mysteries. Although this is the sixth Johnny Hawke novel, you can read it and understand it without reading the previous books. Enough background is given so that you know who Johnny is.”‒ Donna Miller, Librarian, USA “Even though this was the sixth novel in the series it can be read as a stand-alone, forming an intriguing double set of mysteries... a nerve-wracking conclusion that will have you on edge until it’s resolved. The murderer is truly chilling, definitely not for the faint-hearted.”‒ Rebecca Chandler, Reviewer, UK
