"It now appears that even Sherlock Holmes's `biographer,' the worthy Dr. Watson would lie to cover up a crime when persuaded that national security was involved. In this final memoir, dictated from a nursing home in 1939, Watson confesses that the events he recounted in `The Final Problem' are a total fabrication.... [Holmes did not die at] Reichenbach Falls. The new version begins pretty much as the old one did, with Holmes muttering darkly about that `Napoleon of Crime,' Moriarty, and an impending confrontation in 1891. But this time Watson observes that Holmes's agitation over Moriarty's evil doings occurs only when he has been taking cocaine. Fearing that Holmes is destroying himself, Watson tricks him into a trip to Vienna, where he turns him over to Sigmund Freud.... Freud cures Holmes of his addiction, and Holmes lingers on to observe that the schizophrenia of one of Freud's patients results from a criminal conspiracy as yet unsuspected by anyone." (Newsweek)

Omslag av David K. Stone.

The "discoverer" of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution has acquired another unpublished case of Sherlock Holmes, this one from a widow in Racine whose husband was descended from the distaff side of the detective's family. Here Holmes solves a double murder in London's theater district, thereby averting a national disaster. Among the cast of characters are people like George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Bram Stoker. While not as highly acclaimed as Meyer's first pastiche, it is nevertheless a witty and delightful novel.

Dark brown leather with a profile of Holmes on cover and letters in gilt; top edge gilt; endpapers hand marbled in combed pattern by Peggy Skycraft.

During the busy year of 1894, Holmes was involved in so many cases that his health deteriorated rapidly. Watson's prescription for this malady included large doses of rest, and this Holmes accomplished by donning his alternate identity, William Escott, as he was known during his acting career. He promptly set forth on a tour of the provinces with a controversial production of Hamlet. Watson, however, is not able to shield him altogether from work. One interesting case is brought to his attention at a sleepy village. A young woman's honor is at stake, and Holmes is the one to set things right. The game is once again afoot!

 

C22918. Ramirez, Frank. "Hyperchronicon," HF, No. 6 (1985), 15-25.

In this time-travel tale both Five and Empt, apparently in conflict, are found to share an element of truth. Holmes, in an expansive mood, shares some thoughts with Watson about the topochronicon, that fabric of the universe in which space and time are one. After sharing a small volume with Watson entitled The Dynamics of an Asteroid, Holmes departs to listen to a lecture by its author. In the adventure that follows, Holmes resolves to rid both space and time of the master criminal, Moriarty. Watson narrates this tale that chronicles both the passing and survival of that best and wisest man.

"A horrifying -- and peculiar -- series of murders has Scotland Yard stumped (of course) ... and Holmes severely puzzled. Has Jack the Ripper returned? Holmes and Watson acquire a most unexpected and extraordinary ally as they attempt to solve a mystery which seems to have no human solution." (Signe Landon)

 

C22938. Rhea, Tina. "The Adventure of the Man with No Patience," WW, 10, No. 1 (May 1987), 12-16.

Holmes deduces Watson's recent activities, including the petting of a cat "pregnant with three kittens: a male and two females." After references to the Nasty Business of the Outraged Landlady and the Affair with the Disguised Contralto, Holmes reports that five sickly assassins have tried to kill him. Their leader bursts in and reveals that they are Dr. Watson's neglected patients, who are trying to keep the doctor in his consulting-room by nobbling Holmes.

 

C22939. Rhea, Tina. "Eclipse," SMuse, 8, No. 2 (Winter 1987), 13-16.

Irene Adler visits Holmes in Sussex, fifteen years after their liaison during the Hiatus, and finds him in bed with Maud Bellamy. Words are exchanged, Bellamy decamps, and Holmes finally manages to turn Adler's anger into another channel.

 

C22940. Rhea, Tina. "Pas de Deux," HF, No. 7 (1987), 45-66.

During the Great Hiatus, the widowed Irene Adler recognizes Holmes in a crowd and invites him to her villa. He is wary of a trap, but as they converse, he finds his respect for her increasing, along with their mutual attraction. She proposes that they be lovers for a time, and at last he accepts. A brief epilogue describes their affectionate parting, prompted by the report of the death of Ronald Adair.

"A pleasant murder mystery set in today's Lake District and tied to a Sherlock Holmes story written in 1894 and published by Conan Doyle in an edition of only ten copies, all of which he presented to his godson as a christening present. The pastiche is included in the novel, and shows more imagination and style (the author is English) than many other in the genre." (Peter E. Blau)
