Susan Knight: Sherlock Holmes The Hunter and Other Mysteries, Gebunden

Klappentext

A terrible scream rent the air. "Too late!" Holmes exclaimed, and started running towards the sound. I followed after, my pistol cocked at the ready. *Had my dream mysteriously and horribly foreshadowed what was to happen? For here was Holmes again, rushing back towards me this time, while behind him, a great beast charged, body of a big cat, and the head... the head... Oh God, no!*From a country estate in Sussex to the murky docklands of Limehouse, from the Royal Albert Hall to a music hall in Shoreditch, from the respectably net-curtained suburbs of Beckenham and Hampstead to a brothel in Bow, Holmes and Watson go plumbing the depths of human depravity to unmask likely and unlikely villains. The cast of colourful characters include a world famous Russian violinist, an intrepid female detective, Miss Dimples and her performing poodles, a diminutive maid named Fancy, a dead policeman on a platform at St Pancras station, as well as Wiggins, Jimsy and Bobs of the Baker Street Irregulars, and a pet leopard names Lola. Meet these and many more in eight new enthralling stories.
