Dr Watson always speculated about S Holmes’s early life and , in particular, the significance of his scientific experiments at St Barts Hospital. Here for the first time in this book all is revealed by author Ian Charnock as he introduces the reader to a young Sherlock Holmes trying to make his way as the world’s first consulting detective with methods unproven but with a burning sense of mission. Discover how a Yucatan marsh toad is involved in a series of murders and witness how Holmes saved Stamford’s father from the gallows. Together with Holmes, the reader will solve the puzzle of the solitary writer at the British Museum reading room; he will discern how an empty ship nearly brought about the end of the British Empire and will discover the identity of Holmes’s greatest foe. The author, Ian Charnock is an art historian, an authority on the work of El Greece and an international classic car rally driver. ISBN 0 947533 97 4 | |||||
