Holmes has been missing for a month, and when he reappears, he has no memory of the time.

The clues -- and perhaps a darker secret -- are hidden within the missing month.

"The life of actor Sheridan Haynes has been transformed by his immense success as TV's Sherlock Holmes. Sher, as his friends call him, has been a passionate Sherlockian from his youth, and he's delighted when the studio suggests that he should live in Baker Street, in rooms that contain many relics of Sherlock's famous cases. And Sher fancies himself as a detective in the Holmesian vein. When some mysterious karate killings take place, he is drawn into a search for the murderer."

"Mark Twain wrote A Double Barrelled Detective Story as a partial satire on the melodramatic detective fiction of his day. Apparently, he was greatly amused at the casual manner in which the renowned mystery writer, Conan Doyle, `killed off' the celebrated Sherlock Holmes in one book, only to bring the great detective back to life again in the next. He must also have been slightly irritated at times by the smug manner in which Sherlock Holmes always confounded his enemies and emerged omnipotently triumphant at the end of each story. So Mr. Twain sat down and wrote A Double-Barrelled Detective Story, in which he placed Detective Holmes in a most uncomfortable but highly amusing situation and confounds him for a change!"

"Elizabeth Penrose, a far cry from the helpless, hand-wringing sort of waif who usually turns up at Baker Street, confronts Holmes with a stack of threatening letters she has received, ostensibly from the detective's own pen. While Holmes is busy uncovering the fraud against the Penroses, he also finds himself conveniently framed for a murder he must somehow prevent and discovers the tragic consequences of a painful episode out of his own past. From the bachelor comforts of 221b, Watson tells an affectionate, engaging story of a mellowed friendship, of lives touched by a woman's intelligent, unaffected sweetness, and of a man whose depth and warmth are buried under the demands of professionalism and honor."

An occult novel that takes place in Doyle, Indiana, founded by Jay Finley Smith, a successful and wealthy member of the BSI. The Master's Clients, the local scion, was founded in the mid-forties by a 15-year-old boy who grew up to become a Nobel prize-winning author. An honored guest at their annual dinner is Vincent Christopher Smith, a founder of the BSI, originally from Chicago, and a book critic and novelist; one of their members is Pete Wilkinson, the aged and well-read nudist of the group. All this is truly meaningful only to those who knew, or know, Jay Finley Christ, Jerry Neal Williamson, Vincent Starrett, and Pete Williams.

As Watson is walking home from a late call one night, he is accosted by a young woman wearing animal skins. She threatens him with a knife and demands that he come to the aid of her friend the Doctor, who is ill. Watson goes. When he returns to Baker Street in the morning, he finds Holmes in consultation with Lestrade over a series of baffling events at a local circus.

Watson's peculiar patient in the night turns out to be the renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor (from the BBC serial Doctor Who). The Doctor, his barbarian companion Leela (the young woman with the knife), Holmes and Watson join forces to investigate the series of deaths and disappearances at the circus -- which seem somehow to be related to the Doctor's mysterious illness (with which the adventure begins).

All of the unpleasant events are eventually traced to an unbalanced scientist meddling with forces beyond his understanding in a mad attempt to prove that the speed of light is not a universal constant. Holmes and the Doctor defeat the scientist, save London from destruction, and prove once again that rational men are capable of working together whatever their antecedents.

An outrageous pastiche derived from Watson's allusion to the disappearance of James Phillimore (Thor) -- outrageous in that a "jaunty arrogance" and a "fanciful style of discourse" are attributed to Holmes; e.g., Phillimore is the "missing anthrope," Watson is a "vestite," Lestrade is a "mitigated fool," and Holmes's charms are "eluctable."

A switch on Canonical names, wherein place names are personal names and vice versa. Thus, the narrator, Sebastian, son of Stoke Moran, was born and raised at the family homestead, Oldacre.
