The Return of Sherlock Holmes Book Summary : The action takes place in March 1897. Sherlock Holmes has been ordered to take a vacation for his health. He and his friend Dr. John Watson rent a cottage on the coast of Cornwall. Holmes enjoys learning about the ancient history of the area. For that reason, he makes the acquaintance of the local clergyman Mr. Roundhay, an amateur archaeologist. Mr. Roundhay rents two rooms at his vicarage, a living room and a bedroom directly above it, to Mortimer Tregennis, a man who is wealthy enough to not have to work. Mortimer Tregennis' sister Brenda and two brothers George and Owen live in a cottage nearby. Mortimer Tregennis says that the separation in his family was caused by a dispute he had with his sister and brothers about money and property several years earlier. However, he claims that the disagreement has now been forgotten, that they are friends again and that he visits them regularly. Mr. Roundhay and Mortimer Tregennis arrive at Holmes' and Watson's cottage early one morning with some startling news. Brenda Tregennis has been found dead and the two brothers George and Owen have gone mad. Mortimer Tregennis says that he went to see his sister and brothers the previous evening and that they played cards together. The evening was cold and damp and, for that reason, there was a fire in the fireplace. Mortimer Tregennis left at around ten o'clock. In the morning, Mortimer Tregennis went out early for a stroll and saw the doctor's carriage heading towards the home of his sister and brothers. In the cottage, Mortimer Tregennis saw his sister and brothers still at the same places at the table which they had been at the night before with the playing cards still in front of them. However, Brenda was dead and George and Owen were speaking nonsense and singing snatches of songs. They all had looks of terror on their faces. Although the window had been opened by the housekeeper Mrs.Porter, the room was very stuffy. It is revealed that Mrs. Porter fainted when she first entered the room. The doctor also nearly fainted and had to sit down in a chair. Holmes and Watson are shown the body of Brenda Tregennis. 1910 illustration by Gilbert Holiday. Holmes and Watson go to the cottage. A carriage taking the insane George and Owen Tregennis to an asylum passes them on the way. While walking up the sandy path towards the cottage, Holmes appears to clumsily knock over a watering can. Holmes and Watson are shown the body of Brenda Tregennis, which has been moved to her bedroom. Holmes carefully examines the room where she died, including the ashes in the fireplace. He determines that the incident must have happened shortly after Mortimer Tregennis left. He later reveals to Watson that he deliberately knocked over the watering can in order to see what Mortimer Tregennis' footprints looked like. He could then compare them with footprints which were left on the sandy path on the previous rainy evening. Holmes did not notice footprints belonging to anyone other than Mortimer Tregennis left the night before. When they return from a walk, Holmes and Watson find the famous explorer Dr. Leon Sterndale waiting for them at their cottage. Dr. Leon Sterndale is known to be a frequent visitor to that part of Cornwall. Holmes and Watson have seen him a few times but have not spoken to him before. Dr. Sterndale says that he has become good friends with the Tregennis family and that he is distantly related to them. He says that he had gone to Plymouth, intending to take a boat to Africa, but returned when he received a telegram from Mr. Roundhay telling him the awful news. Consequently, he has missed his boat and some of his luggage has already been sent on to Africa, although this does not seem to trouble him very much. Dr. Leon Sterndale asks Holmes if he can offer any explanation for the crime. When Holmes says that he cannot, the explorer leaves angrily. Shortly afterwards, Sherlock Holmes leaves too and does not return for several hours. When he comes back, he finds a telegram from Dr. Sterndale's hotel in Plymouth, the name of which he got from Mr. Roundhay. The telegram confirms that the explorer had recently stayed there and that some of his luggage has been sent on to Africa…… About the Author: Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh into a prosperous Irish family. He trained as a doctor, gaining his degree from Edinburgh University in 1881. He worked as a surgeon on a whaling boat and also as a medical officer on a steamer travelling between Liverpool and West Africa. He then settled in Portsmouth on the English south coast and divided his time between medicine and writing. Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in 'A Study of Scarlet', published in 'Beeton's Christmas Annual' in 1887. Its success encouraged Conan Doyle to write more stories involving Holmes but, in 1893, Conan Doyle killed off Holmes, hoping to concentrate on more serious writing. A public outcry later made him resurrect Holmes. In addition, Conan Doyle wrote a number of other novels, including 'The Lost World' and various non-fictional works. These included a pamphlet justifying Britain's involvement in the Boer War, for which he was knighted and histories of the Boer War and World War One, in which his son, brother and two of his nephews were killed. Conan Doyle also twice ran unsuccessfully for parliament. In later life he became very interested in spiritualism

In this thrilling new crime novel that ingeniously bridges Laurie R. King’s Edgar and Creasey Awards—winning Kate Martinelli series and her bestselling series starring Mary Russell, San Francisco homicide detective Kate Martinelli crosses paths with Sherlock Holmes–in a spellbinding dual mystery that could come only from the “intelligent, witty, and complex” mind of New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King…. Kate Martinelli has seen her share of peculiar things as a San Francisco cop, but never anything quite like this: an ornate Victorian sitting room straight out of a Sherlock Holmes story–complete with violin, tobacco-filled Persian slipper, and gunshots in the wallpaper that spell out the initials of the late queen. Philip Gilbert was a true Holmes fanatic, from his antiquated décor to his vintage wardrobe. And no mere fan of fiction’s great detective, but a leading expert with a collection of priceless memorabilia–a collection some would kill for. And perhaps someone did: In his collection is a century-old manuscript purportedly written by Holmes himself–a manuscript that eerily echoes details of Gilbert’s own murder. Now, with the help of her partner, Al Hawkin, Kate must follow the convoluted trail of a killer–one who may have trained at the feet of the greatest mind of all times.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.

Praise for The Science of Sherlock Holmes "Holmes is, first, a great detective, but he has also proven to be a great scientist, whether dabbling with poisons, tobacco ash, or tire marks. Wagner explores this fascinating aspect of his career by showing how his investigations were grounded in the cutting-edge science of his day, especially the emerging field of forensics.... Utterly compelling." —Otto Penzler, member of the Baker Street Irregulars and proprietor of The Mysterious Bookshop "E. J. Wagner demonstrates that without the work of Sherlock Holmes and his contemporaries, the CSI teams would be twiddling their collective thumbs. Her accounts of Victorian crimes make Watson's tales pale! Highly recommended for students of the Master Detective." —Leslie S. Klinger, Editor, The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes "In this thrilling book, E. J. Wagner has combined her considerable strengths in three disciplines to produce a work as compelling and blood-curdling as the best commercial fiction. This is CSI in foggy old London Town. Chilling, grim fun." —John Westermann, author of Exit Wounds and Sweet Deal "I am recommending this delightful work to all of my fellow forensic scientists.... Bravo, Ms. Wagner!" —John Houde, author of Crime Lab: A Guide for Nonscientists "A fabulously interesting read. The book traces the birth of the forensic sciences to the ingenuity of Sherlock Holmes. A wonderful blend of history, mystery, and whodunit." —Andre Moenssens, Douglas Stripp Professor of Law Emeritus, University of Missouri at Kansas City, and coauthor of Scientific Evidence in Civil and Criminal Cases
