The premise: Sherlock Holmes did not in fact retire in 1903 to a quiet life of beekeeping in Sussex, but instead worked covertly as the consulting detective in some of the Edwardian era's most baffling, actual cases.

The result: A collection of tales that compellingly weds fiction to history, as Baker Street's famous resident and his cohort Dr. Watson investigate seven of the most celebrated mysteries in the annals of true crime, from the grisly murder of a prostitute to the alleged bigamy of King George V. With Watson grumbling all the way, he and Holmes travel to Paris to vindicate Captain Dreyfus and become embroiled in the suspicious death of the French president Faure. They book passage to Yokohama, too, to solve a mystifying case of what appears to be arsenic poisoning, while closer to home they investigate the 1907 theft of the Irish crown jewels. And on at least one occasion, the formidable ratiocinative powers of the eminent Holmes save not only the day but the monarchy, government, and nation as well.
