BACK TO SCHOOL WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Three cases. Three lies. And in every one, students assist Sherlock Holmes in solving a murder … or more than one.
The Adventure of the Abergavenny Murder May 1901. A twelve-year-old boy climbs the stairs to 221B and calmly reports a murder in Regent's Park — a sword-thrust in the dark, a body dragged to a waiting cab. The police do not believe him. Neither does his family. He has, after all, won three prizes for making up stories. But Holmes listens, and what begins as a boy's fantastic tale leads to a drowned colonel, a court-martial in Benin City, a father hanged for treason, and a confession in a juvenile courtroom that leaves Holmes white with anger — and four years short of the answer.
The Adventure of the Six Gullibles Six Oxford undergraduates spend a summer writing an outrageous penny-dreadful serial, lampooning every bad novel of the age under the pen name Madame Blanche Le Noir. It sells splendidly. Then the death threats begin. Somewhere in England, a man is certain the students are publishing his life — and he is prepared to kill them one by one to stop it. Holmes, retired to his bees, dismisses the whole affair. Watson does not, and a body in the Thames proves him right.
The Three Rhodes Not Taken A dean's office at Balliol is broken open and the confidential file of Rhodes Scholarship finalists is stolen. There are three candidates: a charming, ruthless German; a brilliant American farm boy hiding an illness; and a small, arrogant Australian medical student. Within days one of them is dead in the river — and Holmes discovers that every person connected to the case is concealing something.
Historically grounded, faithful to the Canon, and threaded with the wit and warmth of Watson's own pen. Perfect for readers who never wanted the Baker Street stories to end.
