The Apocryphal Cases of Sherlock Holmes
Author: R. Wolfgang Schramm
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453514740
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
R. Wolfgang Schramm has created three science-fiction-style Sherlock Holmes stories in the Conan Doyle manner. Fans of the great consulting detective will enjoy Holmes's and Watson's adventures as they attempt to unravel some of the most baffling and well-known mysteries of the last century. Follow along with Holmes and Watson as they attempt to find the Loch Ness monster, uncover the secrets of the Shroud of Turin, and find the explanation for the enormous explosion that occurred in the Tunguska region of Russia in 1908. Although a work of fiction, Schramm has made every effort to remain true to the historical facts in each of these three narratives. What actually happened is left as an exercise for the reader to determine, for history is not necessarily what happened but what has been recorded; thus, what is contained in these works is only one possible version of the truth. Even though Holmes and Watson are fictional characters, these stories in which they play a part are not without validity since they are based on actual facts, and Holmes's methods of problem solving mirror our modern use of the scientific method in the sciences and in criminal investigation. The Apocryphal Cases of Sherlock Holmes is lavishly illustrated. It contains 20 sketches by Artist Anne Foreman that literally bring the characters to life.

The Sherlockian
Author: Graham Moore
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 0446573957
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Hurtling from present day New York to Victorian London, The Sherlockian weaves the history of Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into an inspired and entertaining double mystery that proves to be anything but "elementary." In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective's next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning-crowds sported black armbands in grief-and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin. Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had "murdered" Holmes in "The Final Problem," he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be missing, and in the decades since, has never been found.... Or has it? When literary researcher Harold White is inducted into the preeminent Sherlock Holmes enthusiast society, The Baker Street Irregulars, he never imagines he's about to be thrust onto the hunt for the holy grail of Holmes-ophiles: the missing diary. But when the world's leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel room, it is Harold-using wisdom and methods gleaned from countless detective stories-who takes up the search, both for the diary and for the killer.
