An investigation into the disappearance of a head-waiter, his locked wardrobe and a baker's van is the first case in this compelling cache of reports. In Dr Watson's compendium of secret files the fantastic Sherlock Holmes embarks on a bird-watching 'holiday' in Cornwall leading to the unmasking of a spy; two glasses of port conduce the apprehension of an artful burglar; and a young woman is found dead in the Thames. Follow the unstoppable detective duo as they try to resolve how the contents of a matchbox mysteriously provoked the suicide of a famous Peruvian journalist, and decipher the blackmailing of the indiscreet Duchess of Welbourne. The adventures continue in June Thomson's thrilling Conan Doyle pastiches.
