The Manifestations of Sherlock Holmes

Description

Maverick detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful chronicler Dr John Watson return in twelve thrilling short stories presented here. The iconic duo find themselves swiftly drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister events: an otherworldly stone whose touch inflicts fatal bleeding...a hellish potion to unlock a person's devilish psyche...a fiendishly clever, almost undetectable method of revenge and many more - including a brand-new Cthulhu Casebooks story. 'Lovegrove does an outstanding job of evoking Doyle's style.' - San Francisco Book Review

"An extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to the evolving Sherlock Holmes canon." -Midwest Book Report "Clever without ever being gimmicky and richly allusive without pretension, Lovegrove's Sherlockiana provides the deductive puzzles, caustic asides, and nuanced Holmes-Watson friendship that distinguish Doyle's canon" - Reviewing the Evidence
