Sherlock Holmes: A Tradition of Evil

CORRUPTION AT THE VERY HEART OF LAW ENFORCEMENT!

The body of a young woman is found on a park bench, the victim of foul play, all but in the shadow of the Tower of London. When SHERLOCK HOLMES takes the case, the police are oddly reluctant to assist, denying the great detective access to the victim's file and body.

Cryptic messages begin to arrive at 221B Baker Street, warning of great danger and a greater conspiracy. As Holmes and Watson delve deeper into the mystery, an invisible web of extortion and blackmail at the highest levels of government and law enforcement is laid bare.

Mike Adamson's debut novel is a shocking tale of corruption, with a gripping climax pitting SHERLOCK HOLMES against a criminal mastermind in a race against time!

The Novellas of Solar Pons

In the 1920's, college student August Derleth wrote to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, asking if any more Sherlock Holmes adventures were going to be published. Upon receiving a negative reply, Derleth decided to provide some of his own. However, rather than relating more tales of Holmes and Dr. Watson, he ended up introducing the world to Solar Pons and Dr. Lyndon Parker, living in London during the 1920’s and 1930’s. Pons solved crimes using deduction and ratiocination, often referring to Holmes as “The Master” or “My illustrious predecessor”. Since his first appearance, Pons has been a favorite with Sherlockians.

Now, for the first time ever, the estate of August Derleth has authorized an anthology of Solar Pons novellas! These new adventures range in length from about 15,000 words (longer than a short story) to 40,000 words (almost a novel). Each of them fully and traditionally falls within the Pontine Canon.

Join us again at 7B Praed Street where The Game is Afoot!

The Novellas

• The Adventure of Mack the Chipper by Chris Chan - A murderer is killing members of parliament and leaving an order of fish and chips at the scenes of the crimes. What is the killer's motivation for the killings and why does he leave such an unusual trademark behind? Only Solar Pons can find the answers to these questions and bring the criminal to justice.

• The Adventure of the Immortal Dead Man by David Marcum - Solar Pons investigates the death of Neil Asford, a man who claimed to have discovered the secret to living forever. Was Asford murdered by a friend, a foreign agent, or by some other diabolical foe? It is up to Pons to untangle the web of this multiversal mystery.

• The Devil's Book by Nick Cardillo - Wealthy client Claude Dixon claims that a 300 hundred year old spell book with the power to summon the Devil himself has been stolen. It is up to Solar Pons to retrieve the book and solve the mystery involving specters, the occult, and conjurers of evil.

• The Goblins of Faegan Hill by Derrick Belanger - First, strange little creatures were spotted in the small town of Faegan Hill. Then, Mysterious satyr tracks were found near the body of archeologist Dr. Larsen near his excavation site. Could the mystery have a rational explanation or could a supernatural force be behind it?

Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson: Medical Mysteries: Volume 1

“What do you know, pray, of Tapanuli fever? What do you know of the black Formosa corruption?

“There are many problems of disease, many strange pathological possibilities, in the East, Watson.” He paused after each sentence to collect his failing strength. “I have learned so much during some recent researches which have a medico-criminal aspect…”

– The Adventure of the Dying Detective, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

In this two-volume collection of traditional Sherlock Holmes adventures, the good doctor himself is given a chance to shine. These two volumes contain twenty-six mysteries involving such maladies as plagues, poisonings, cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, dementia, somnambulism, and many more! The stories are traditional Holmes pastiches and are written by some of today’s top Sherlockian writers!

This anthology is in collaboration with Dr. Ed Chan, who is raising awareness of lung disease caused by Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria, a very difficult-to-treat (often times incurable) and increasingly prevalent form of pneumonia (related to tuberculosis) caused by microorganisms that are acquired from our home and outdoor environments.

Sherlock Holmes The Affair at Mayerling Lodge

In the royal hunting lodge at Mayerling, just outside Vienna, the body of the Austrian Crown Prince Rudolf has been discovered in his locked bedroom. The single bullet wound, it appears, was caused by the recently discharged pistol that is still clutched in his hand. Unmentioned in the subsequent frenzied press coverage is that he was not alone at the time of his death. Next to him on the bed is his 17-year old mistress, the Baroness Mary Vetsera, also dead from a bullet to the head. The lovers have left suicide notes in their own handwriting.

The facts appear to leave little uncertainty about what transpired at the Mayerling Lodge: the tragedy is described as a “murder-suicide” or a “double suicide.” And yet for a century and a half, doubts have remained — expressed in films, plays, television series and opera — about what actually happened the night of January 30, 1889.

Why, many have wondered, did Emperor Franz Joseph not enlist the services of the noted English detective Sherlock Holmes to investigate the death of the heir to the Hapsburg throne? In fact, Holmes was in Vienna at the request of the Emperor, although neither could have predicted the tragedy that was about to occur. In this newly discovered manuscript, John H. Watson, MD, reveals for the first time the integral — and until now — unheralded role of the world’s first private consulting detective in solving “The Affair at Mayerling Lodge.”
