The Secret Cases of Sherlock Holmes

Wedding fiction to history, this compelling collection of tales brings Baker Street's celebrated resident and his cohort Dr. Watson out of retirement to covertly investigate seven of the most notorious mysteries in the annals of true crime.

The alleged bigamy of King George V... The theft of the Irish Crown Jewels in 1907... In Paris, Holmes and Watson become embroiled in the suspicious death of the French president Faure... In Yokohama, they solve a mystifying case of what appears to be arsenic poisoning... And on at least one occasion the formidable ratiocinative powers of the Great Detective save not only the day but the English monarchy, government, and nation as well.
