Infos

The Jewels of Bishopgate: In the spring of 1886, a memorable encounter takes place in Bishop Auckland in the northwestern corner of England between Inspector Athelney Jones and Sherlock Holmes, later described by Watson in "The Sign of Four" as the case of the Jewels of Bishopgate. Sir Redmond discovers, upon opening his safe, that his wife's jewels are missing. Still in progress, he encounters the burglar, who manages to escape. He calls Inspector Athelney Jones for assistance, and fortunately, Sherlock Holmes also intervenes in the investigation. During the nocturnal inquiries, the detectives come across a corpse, but additional peculiar events in the night provide Holmes with initial clues to the solution. The Military Conference: After the investigations into the missing naval treaty and the second stain, Dr. Watson finds himself in July 1887 by the side of his friend Sherlock Holmes in a third major case that determines the fate of war and peace in the Empire. From the theft in a luxurious lodge in Sussex unfolds a politically explosive search for clues, where two additional deaths quickly unsettle Scotland Yard and the political arena. Sherlock Holmes attempts to counter the constraints of politics with his rational mind. Then, another power enters the stage. The French Securities: The visit of a book collector to Baker Street proves to be the prelude to an exciting case in the late summer of 1888. In a parallel investigation, Holmes is asked to assist Inspector MacDonald in the Foreign Office. While initially failing to connect the right threads, a calamity looms, which holds a great defeat for the famous detective. Holmes finds himself compelled to accept the help of his brother Mycroft. However, Mycroft abandons him at a crucial moment.

Autor

Out of passion for the Victorian era and unreserved admiration for the greatest detective of all time, Francis London has been writing Sherlock Holmes pastiches since 2016, closely adhering to the style of Arthur Conan Doyle's original works.
