Audiobooks
Holmes and Watson End Peace $9.95
1915. Sherlock Holmes to Watson: "Stand with me here upon the terrace, for it may be the last quiet talk that we shall ever have."
1929. A small hospital somewhere in Dorset. An anteroom off a dimly lit corridor. It is night, and there is not even the smallest amount of light penetrating the room. In the room itself, a dim light enables us to see a figure in a bed. The pipes, tubes, and all the trappings we associate with keeping someone alive have been removed. The man, for it is a man, lies prone and still. Still, but not silent.
Tales From The Annals of Sherlock Holmes $14.95
Seven tales that have appeared in various anthologies, including the MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories from master pastiche author Arthur Hall.
- A client who is uncertain of his brother's demise; a priest with a curious accent; a headless body recovered from the Thames. Is Holmes correct in deducing that these things indicate a threat to the Prime Minister?
- Why is Mr Michael Burlott constantly stalked by a man he does not know?
- The Whitechapel murders continue. Is the murderer known as 'Jack the Ripper' still at large?
- A previous client enlists Holmes' help in convincing his cousin that she is not mad.
- Why does Miss Elinora Todd deceive her brother by claiming to have meetings with a deceased woman?
- Miss Laura Willis engages Holmes to discover why she was abducted and left to starve to death.
- Inspector Lestrade asks Holmes to enquire into the sudden disappearance of a colleague.
Sherlock Holmes and The Shadows of St Petersberg $12.95
"A psychological account of a crime" - that's how Fyodor Dostoyevsky described his novel Crime and Punishment, which tells of two horrific ax murders in St. Petersburg. It becomes much more than a mere "account", however, when a pair of dead bodies turn up in London's East End, their heads split open by an ax blade.
To Scotland Yard, the crimes are murders to solve. To Sherlock Holmes, they present an intriguing puzzle. But to the literary man, Dr. John H. Watson, they seem a deliberate restaging of the brutal murders depicted in Dostoyevsky's narrative. If Watson is right, what can be the purpose behind an actual recreation of the fictional killings?
Blocking the answer to that question is a mysterious assortment of English and Russian eccentrics, and one can only wonder if the startling revelation at the end will be dramatic enough to set matters straight.
Shadowfall $16.95
The first book of three in the Shadow series. When the sacred relics and mystical objects of London begin disappearing, Sherlock Holmes must call on more than his powers of deduction to solve a mystery that threatens the safety of the British Empire and Doctor Watsons mortal soul.
