Om den här e-boken
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson traverse the British Isles and the Italian peninsula in a rousing new series of adventures . . .
After a thrilling jaunt in the Far East, Holmes and Watson return to England to address an inheritance left by one of Watson’s relatives in Cornwall, half of which he gave to his dear friend, Sherlock Holmes. Financially secure, the two are now free to spend as much time on Baker Street and the Continent as they please, and the duo find themselves as comfortable on the banks of the Tiber as the Thames.
As Holmes rationalizes his way through case after case, it’s all in a day’s work—until clues surface that his great nemesis, Prof. James Moriarty, might still be alive . . .
“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
