Sherlock Holmes and the King's Evil: And Other New Tales Featuring the World's Greatest Detective - Tapa blanda

Sherlockians old and new should relish Thomas' wit and elegance.

Starred Review: Few authors have done as well in bringing these beloved and familiar characters to life. Donald Thomas masterfully evokes the flavor of Doyle's original stories of the great detective.

In these five tales of intellectual derring-do, Sherlock Holmes isshown at the height of his powers: he co-operates with a youngWinston Churchill in the famed siege of Sydney Street; helps defeat a plan for a German invasion outlined in the ZimmermanTelegram; establishes a link between two missing light-housekeepers and the royal treasures of King John; contends with asupernatural curse placed upon an eccentric aristocrat and discovers a lost epic of Lord Byron.But it is all in a day’s work for the great detective, who continues to defy the odds and lives to ratiocinate another day.
