Sherlock Holmes and the King's Governess

Начало книги

The text of this narrative is an edited version of a document which came into my possession some years ago. It appears to be one of the ‘lost’ or suppressed manuscripts of John H. Watson, the companion and chronicler of Sherlock Holmes. Watson was a contemporary of my maternal grandfather in the Medical Corps during the Great War and it may be through that connection that these papers came into the possession of my family.

I have already put several of these manuscripts before the public - Sherlock Holmes and the Railway Maniac (Constable, 1994), Sherlock Holmes and the Devil’s Grail (Constable, 1996), Sherlock Holmes and the Man From Hell (Constable, 1997), Sherlock Holmes and the Royal Flush (Constable, 1999), Sherlock Holmes and the Harvest of Death (Constable, 2001), Sherlock Holmes and the Crosby Murder (Constable, 2002) and Sherlock Holmes and the Rule of Nine (Severn House, 2003), as well as a number of shorter ones which have mostly appeared in The Strand Magazine (USA).
