"Adapted as a graphic novel by the brilliant Czech illustrator Petr Kopl and translated (back) into English by Paul & Jana Simpson. Actually there are two adventures here, the other being ‘The Speckled Band’, and both serve to show Holmes that women can be just as courageous and intelligent as men – much to Watson’s satisfaction.

"First-time novelist Margaret Walsh has brought us a new adventure covering the type of case that wouldn’t have made it into The Strand. Clearly the types of crimes, and the graphic forensic details, are something that Watson, as a doctor, would have faithfully recorded, even if he couldn’t share it with the public. Set in early 1889, not long after the brutal Ripper murders, a new set of terrible crimes is targeting a little-known group of Londoners. As the events play out, the number of deaths continue to rise, and some evidence even starts to point toward Scotland Yard. There...
