Foreword

 



Holmes and Watson at home












 

Behind the drapes at 221B Baker Street, the great detective still lounges 
before the fire, awaiting his next client, listening to the scratchings of the 
pen while his close friend, his Boswell, is writing up an account of their 
latest case. The rain drums against the window. It's a sleepy scene. Come 
away with me now, and listen to three newly discovered stories from 
Watson's despatch case, three of Sherlock Holmes's strangest cases

the strange case of the dutch painter
     
"The task leads from Parisian art galleries to van Gogh’s deathbed, where suicide more closely resembles murder.With a compelling central mystery, the novel makes excellent use of familiar historical figures to evoke a complex social world. In addition to its overarching case, the book makes moves to address the “locked-room mystery” of Holmes as a person."--Booklist




The Strange Case of the Pharaoh’s Heart

 

"The Strange Case of the Pharaoh’s Heart is a paranormal romp with Holmes and Watson, and a time warp to the well-researched 1920s, from glittering haunts of the rich to the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

Beware! The game's afoot!"
