Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes, The Ordeals of Sherlock Holmes (Unabridged)

When one of the Maugham family meets an untimely death, it seems impossible to fathom who the murderer is, and with the arrival of Hans Gerber, the case becomes even more confusing. Holmes must use every ounce of his skill to unravel this dastardly plot.

Sherlock Holmes, The Reification of Hans Gerber (Unabridged)

Sherlock Holmes had many secrets. This is the greatest of them. Our knowledge of the life and career of Mr Sherlock Holmes is necessarily partial and inexact. Riddled with lacunae and ambiguities, its parameters are defined chiefly by what his friend and colleague, Dr John Watson, saw fit to record. One era in particular - those enigmatic years in which, believed dead at the Reichenbach Falls, the Great Detective roved the world incognito - has been shrouded in obscurity and doubt, the particulars of that time too terrible and too strange to be set down in full. At least, that is, until now... Part One: Poppyland It is October, 1921. Dr John Watson, now almost seventy, has accustomed himself to a life of retirement. He is surprised, then, to encounter his old friend, Mr Sherlock Holmes, rising out of the early evening mist like a wraith. There are things they have to discuss, he says, matters from the distant past. It is important, he says, that Watson hears at last a full account of what happened to Holmes during his years away from England when, believed by the world to be dead following his battle with Professor Moriarty, he travelled incognito overseas... Part Two: At the Gates of Shambhala 1892. At the heart of Tibet, a world away from London, where a grieving Dr Watson is battling demons of his own, stands an ancient monastery, abandoned for generations but now the source of rumours of the most peculiar and terrible kind. For strangers have lately invaded this place and pressed it into service for their dark schemes. Those who dwell nearby have come to live in fear and sorrow. What good fortune, then, that a certain noted Norwegian explorer should happen to have found himself in the vicinity... Part Three: The Man in the Moonlight Mr Sherlock Holmes is the kind of man whom it is practically impossible to imagine ever having been a child, so fixed and set is his nature. Yet even he was once an infant, his childhood as fraught with peril as his adult life. That time, long past, still haunts him - one element most of all, the figure of a stranger, standing without and gazing upwards, his thin, pale face haloed by moonlight. Part Four: The Tragedy of Pargetter Square Here is where it ends: with a murderer in Pargetter Square, with the detective and a tyrant come face to face in Baker Street, with desperate ambition and wickedness incarnate, with an assassin's bullet and with old friends working, unknowingly, as one. Yet what is an ending if not a beginning by a different name?

The Judgement of Sherlock Holmes

A threat to Holmes's life, murders on Hampstead Heath and a deadly phantom lady lead Holmes and Watson into the most dangerous investigation they have ever undertaken: an encounter which brings them face to face with Count Dracula, the Lord of the Undead.

Sherlock Holmes, The Tangled Skein (Unabridged)

Sherlock Holmes is a hunted man. Having unearthed the criminal mastermind behind the greatest crimes in the land, Holmes has found himself a fugitive. But the Great Detective already has a plan in motion...

Sherlock Holmes (Unabridged)

Young Dr Mortimer ventures from Devonshire to Baker Street, with news of the death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville. Can it really be that the grisly legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles might have something to do with the case?

Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles (Unabridged)

Helen Stoner consults Holmes about the death of her twin sister, Julia, who died crying: "it was the Speckled Band!" But can Helen be believed? Is Dr Roycroft as bad as he seems? And can the specked handkerchiefs worn by the gypsies be a coincidence?

Sherlock Holmes, The Speckled Band (Unabridged)

Holmes and Watson are drawn into one of the darkest plots ever to shake the foundations of England. There are conspiracies at the highest level of the establishment. And for Holmes, there is a uniquely personal element to this new and terrifying case...

Sherlock Holmes, Holmes and the Ripper (Unabridged)

It is the summer of 1912. Sherlock Holmes, estranged from Dr Watson, lives in reclusive retirement on the South Downs. Yet he will be forced to try to solve a new mystery - one of the most diabolical and fiendish murders he has ever confronted...
