Beware, Watson! Danger! by Jack Grochot Pdf

These nine adventures are re-printed from issues of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine and The Sherlock Holmes Megapack, a digital book. In the stories, Holmes and his biographer-companion Dr. John H. Watson confront obstacles that include whodunit murders, espionage, an international swindle, a corrupt politician, Russian secret police assassins, disappearances, a reported kidnapping, and a fatal arson. All of which takes the master detective into various parts of 19th Century London, plus the countryside on the outskirts of the city and beyond, as well as the Netherlands and China. Many of the eight short stories and one novella are based on references to the cases in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - references which never materialized into Watson's sixty original narratives, known to Holmes aficionados as the Canon. "Tales that sound just like Watson was telling them," noted mystery magazine editor Marvin N. Kaye when commenting to the author on the authenticity of his work.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

No mystery is too challenging for the infamous detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. Watson. Holmes is at his best when the job seems impossible—or just plain absurd. From cases involving a strange group for red-headed men to a missing thumb, Holmes uses his powers of observation and deduction to solve even the weirdest mysteries. Scottish author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his first twelve original Sherlock Holmes short stories as serials in the UK's Strand Magazine from 1891-1892. This unabridged collection of the stories is taken from the book form, originally published in 1892.

The Adventure of the Plated Spoon and Other Tales of Sherlock Holmes by Loren D Estleman Pdf

A collection of classic reprints and four original stories featuring Sherlock Holmes In bringing to a close the adventures of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I am perforce reminded that he never, save on the occasion which, as you will now hear, brought his singular career to an end, consented to act in any mystery which was concerned with persons who made a livelihood by their pen. "I am not particular about the people I mix among for business purposes," he would say, "but at literary characters I draw the line." We were in our rooms in Baker Street one evening. I was (I remember) by the centre table writing out "The Adventure of the Man Without a Cork Leg" (which had so puzzled the Royal Society and all the other scientific bodies of Europe), and Holmes was amusing himself with a little revolver practice. It was his custom of a summer evening to fire round my head, just shaving my face, until he had made a photograph of me on the opposite wall, and it is a slight proof of his skill that many of these portraits in pistol shots are considered admirable likenesses.
