The Body in the Safe

The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes

At last these events from 1896 can stand released to the reading public in the 2020s, as Dr. John H. Watson’s account of a case he deemed “too violent and disturbing” to be published in his own lifetime finally appears before the world. In the tellingly entitled The Body in the Safe, Sherlock Holmes takes on an investigation which has its beginnings in a seemingly mundane theft at a commercial archive in north London, where all manner of documents have long been securely stored—until now. As first one cold-blooded murder and then others begin to surface, all connected to the mysterious events at the archive, the greatest of all detectives pierces through a veil of deception and savage brutality, and comes to discover the existence of a foe he dubs “among the most vicious I have ever encountered.” Danger abounds from the least expected places, yet all shall be revealed in The Body in the Safe, the sixty-seventh release in author Compton Thorne’s The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes, over two-million pages read, and counting!
