The Undiscovered Casebook of Sherlock Holmes - Ted Riccardi

If you thought Sherlock Holmes was dead—think again . . .

Sherlock Holmes's fatal plunge over the Reichenbach Falls during his struggle with his archenemy, Moriarty, has been widely reported. But Holmes escaped and is still alive. In his immediate circle, only Holmes's brother, the lethargic genius Mycroft, knows of his survival. Even Dr. Watson thinks the great detective is gone. But among his enemies, Sebastian Moran, Moriarty's chief henchman, knows of Holmes's probable escape and waits for their inevitable meeting.

From 1891 to 1894, Holmes wanders through Asia alone, armed only with his physical strength and endurance and his revered cold logic and rationality . . .

For Holmes's fans throughout the world, these stories fill an enigmatic gap, the cause of so much speculation in the great detective's career.

"Mischievous, cunning and magnetically fascinating, Sherlock Holmes' lost meanderings in the Far East are richly rewarding for Holmes fans, armchair travellers and historians alike. Ted Riccardi conjures up the quirky, beloved detective's missing years solving intoxicatingly labyrinthine puzzles amidst the devilry of The Great Game." —Isabella Tree, award-winning author and conservationist
