Sherlock Holmes – Murder on the Brighton Line: In the autumn of 1888 Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are in the seaside resort of Brighton where Holmes is consulting with the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Constabulary on a murderer who leaves female body parts outside buildings across the city. But Holmes and Watson find themselves at the heart of a different mystery. Who is the gentleman found dead in a First Class compartment of the London to Brighton express? The victim has a fortune in jewels and a fabulous painting in his luggage. Who killed him? Holmes tackles the case of Murder on the Brighton Line despite the obduracy of the police sergeant in charge of the official investigation.
Sherlock Holmes and the Murder at the Savoy and Other Stories: This series of five novelettes told in the traditional manner by Doctor Watson focuses on theatrical themes. A young heiress about to appear in The Mikado disappears from her private school, Holmes is challenged to a duel by an unlikely antagonist, arrested for murder, but arraigned on another charge and Holmes and Watson investigate the strange case of the Queen, Prince Albert and John Brown at Windsor Castle. Lastly, Mr D’Oyly Carte engages Sherlock Holmes to investigate mysterious incidents that occur at the Savoy Theatre.
What cultural icons personify the Victorian era better than Holmes and Watson and Gilbert and Sullivan? They would very probably have known each other. Holmes was a music lover and Gilbert was quarrelsome and litigious enough to need investigative help. Directly, and indirectly through the music of the operettas, the worlds of the Savoy Theatre and 221B Baker Street meet in these stories.
Sherlock Holmes – The Scottish Question: The Scottish Crown Jewels, known as the Honours of Scotland and secured in Edinburgh Castle, consist of a crown, a sceptre and a sword. They are older than the English Crown Jewels by a century or more as the original English Jewels were confiscated, melted and sold by Oliver Cromwell. The canny Scots hid their Honours from Cromwell, though he avidly sought them as symbols of Scottish kingship and for their melted value.
But one Scottish crown, its history lost in the mists of time, has been missing since it was taken by Edward the First of England from the Scottish King John Balliol whom he defeated in battle and ignominiously deposed.
What if the most celebrated consulting detective in the world, at the height of his powers in 1897, was put on the trail of the Golden Crown of Scotland? What if the most potent symbol of Scottish sovereignty was stolen, members of the British Royal Family abducted, threats made against the Queen and a campaign of terror planned by separatists aided by a foreign Power?
What if Holmes and Watson tracked a conspiracy against the Union by some of the highest in the land? And what if a war of cataclysmic proportions might destroy the Empire and set Europe ablaze if they failed to uncover the plot?
The Scottish Question tells that story.
