Holmes and Watson:

Reissued following June Thomson's latest collection of Sherlock Holmes cases. This fictional biography celebrates the most famous friendship ever recorded. In the course of tracing its development, June Thomson gives fascinating insights into the personalities of these two very different individuals whose relationship was to last for over forty-six years.

Those interested in the many theories which surround the canon, such as the dating of The Hound of the Baskervilles or the location of 221B Baker Street, will find answers here. In addition, June Thomson supplies suggested chronologies to help with the vexed question of dating, as well as supplying two intriguing theories of her own concerning the identities of the King of Bohemia and the second Mrs. Watson both of which have been the subject of much debate among Sherlockian scholars.

Those who have enjoyed the accounts of Holmes and Watson s adventures will find this book indispensable in providing a detailed and enthralling account of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's two immortal characters. As The Sunday Times asks: 'what student of the great man could resist them'?

The Secret Notebooks of Sherlock Holmes:

In Sherlock Holmes's London, reputations are fragile and scandal can be ruinous. In order to protect the names of the good (and not-so-good), Dr. Watson comes to the decision that his accounts of some of his friend s most brilliant cases must never see the light of day. Concealing the manuscripts in an old dispatch box deep in the vaults of a Charing Cross bank, Dr. Watson preserves the honor of others and in doing so proves himself a true gentleman as well as a good friend. But then a hundred years pass, and the mysteries outlast the memories of those they once could have harmed...

An aluminum crutch betrays the criminal who relies upon it for support... An Italian Cardinal lies dead in a muddy yard in Spitalfields... What do a pair of suspiciously successful gamblers have in common with the Transylvanian mind-reader, Count Rakoczi? And can Holmes and Watson outwit the jewel thief who has the nerve to steal from the King of Scandinavia?
