Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes himself would have us believe that, once a case was finished, it - or the people involved - never crossed his mind again. "A client is to me a mere unit," he once told Watson, "a factor in a problem." And yet, in a career spanning multiple decades and thousands of cases, he must have occasionally re-crossed paths with previous clients - and the occasional villain as well This anthology, with twenty-nine brand new stories, spread over three volumes, reveals some of those sequel investigations. There are stories ranging from Holmes's early days in Montague Street, through the legendary Baker Street years, and well into his retirement. We meet former clients with new problems, and former adversaries too. Sometimes we find that the published Canonical version of a story was only the beginning, while other tales in this collection reveal what was really going on during the original narratives. Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as " . . . the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
