The Secret Files of Sherlock Holmes (Secret Sherlock Holmes #1)
As many fans of Sherlock Holmes will recall, "Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., Late Indian Army, painted upon the lid." Tantalizing information, this - mentioned in passing by the good doctor, perhaps literature's most celebrated chronicler, at the start of one of the adventures he shared with the immortal Holmes. Yet, until now, the contents of this alluring repository have been completely lost to literary history. Out of the blue - in 1939, in rooms at All Saints College, Oxford - a certain Miss Adelina McWhirter paid a visit to another Dr. John Watson, leaving behind, after an exchange of money, a beat-up metal box full of old papers. But the volatile political circumstances of the day (the bombing of Britain, etc.) kept this second Watson, himself a Sherlockian scholar, from then publishing what he had fortuitously acquired. There are no such obstacles in the present day. And thanks to Aubrey B. Watson, heir to the precious cache, seven heretofore untold cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes with the assistance of the always estimable Watson can be laid before the expectant public: The Case of the Vanishing Head-Waiter, The Case of the Amateur Mendicants, The Case of the Remarkable Worm, The Case of the Exalted Client, The Case of the Notorious Canary-Trainer, The Case of the Itinerant Yeggman, and The Case of the Abandoned Lighthouse. It would be impossible to exaggerate the thrill that each reader will experience when encountering these extraordinary rediscoveries. Most important, each reader will also come to realize why the original Watson decided that these utterly engrossing files needed, at the time of their occurrence, to remain...secret. Until now.
