Embark on a journey with Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H. Watson! Although Holmes was at his best amongst the ghostly gas lamps and swirling yellow fog of London's streets, he was always willing to venture forth to strange locales whenever adventure called. Comprising the collections 'A Prompt and Ready Traveller' and 'Round the World, ' within are eight recently-unearthed cases that induced Holmes to set forth to the Continent, the Colonies, and the Americas. All are narrated by Dr Watson in the finest tradition and spirit of classics such as 'The Adventure of the Devil's Foot.'
THE ADVENTURE OF THE MISSING MANA. London is celebrating Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, but there is no rest for Holmes when a remarkable burglar and peculiar killer appears to be running loose. Will a call upon the visiting royal party of the Kingdom of Hawai'i and a spiritual trip to those far-away isles brings light to the matter? Can Holmes prevent a gang of vicious thugs from defiling Hawai'i's past and stealing its future?
THE OAK-LEAF SPRIG. In the long course of his career, Holmes has only failed a handful of clients. One such was John Openshaw, struck down in the heart of London by the K.K.K. Now, Holmes himself receives a warning that the same terrible organization is set on destroying him. Only by following the clues back to their source - the deep American South - will Holmes finally be able to cut the head off the snake, and bring a long-overdue justice to Openshaw.
THE ADVENTURE OF THE BOULEVARD ASSASSIN. Holmes is beckoned to Paris, where chaos rules the streets. No man is safe from the random killings of the Boulevard Assassin. Holmes begins to see a method in the madness and an ancient link between the victims. If unchecked, a mighty shadow may once more emerge to set Europe shaking. But it is one thing to discern an assassin's twisted motives and another thing entirely to stop him from carrying out his desperate deeds.
THE ADVENTURE OF THE DOUBLE DETECTIVES. With Holmes thought dead at Reichenbach, someone in the California silver fields has usurped his name. Lately returned to London, Holmes is convinced to track down this imposter. Soon he also needs learn the identity of Fetlock Jones, who claims to be Holmes' nephew. When a miner is killed by an explosion, Watson soon discovers that it is not so simple to separate the wheat from the chaff.
THE ADVENTURE OF THE SECRET TOMB. At the behest of the Pope himself, Holmes is summoned to Rome to inquire into the sudden death of Cardinal Tosca. But a far more insidious plot is unearthed when the local attaché beseeches Holmes to investigate the mysterious vanishing of a prominent English archaeologist. Did Mr. Kennedy run off with another woman? Or is the answer much graver? Can Holmes prevent a cunning murderer from getting away scot-free?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE AFRICAN HORROR. Holmes is called to a steamship off Gravesend, where a man lies dead by apparent poison. He is surprised to also find an old acquaintance, Dr Leon Sterndale, recently returned to England the depths of the Congo. Has the terrible Devil's Foot been used again? Or is a new horror afoot?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE FAIR LAD. While Holmes is on vacation in Ireland, a nobleman asks for his help following the disappearance of his son, Liam, who is believed to be a changeling by the locals. The boy reported seeing a little green man shortly before he vanished in a secluded forest glade. Can Holmes possibly bring Liam back from the land of the fairies?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE DEAD MAN'S NOTE. Holmes has finally decided to retire from active consulting, though he accedes to the wishes of Dr Watson, and agrees to take a final voyage to the isle of Bermuda. But like a stormy petrel, trouble follows. A man is killed at the Hamilton Princess Hotel, and the only clue is a blank letter written to a long dead man. Only Holmes will be able to see through the lies and determine what secrets the hotel
