Sherlock Holmes' Lost Adventure - The True Story of the Giant Rats of Sumatra

What?s in the Book:
It?s Sherlock Holmes like you?ve never seen him before. Between the classic Sherlock sleuth skills and the twist of time travel, Sherlock Holmes 2012 is a mystery that will have you turning the pages for more.
Delve into the pages that find a woman even smarter than Sherlock. He has solved the crimes of Britain but you will be amazed as he outwits terrorist and murderous foes on two continents and around the globe. Watch as the mind of Sherlock outsmarts the enemies of the 20th and 21st centuries and find out how he beats the greatest enemies of all time and how the bloodline of good old Watson has an intellect and brilliance that when matched with Sherlock is a force to be reckoned with.

Everyone knew that Sherlock Holmes perished in a titanic struggle with Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls in the year 1891.

At least they thought they knew that. Until...

Until some three years later he suddenly reappeared in London, alive and well, the same old Sherlock Holmes...

Or...was he?

That is only one of the questions examined in the pages of Sherlock Holmes´ Last Case.

This manuscript among the recently discovered effects of Doctor John H. Watson, as edited by novelist Robert D´Artagnan, gives us a description of what may have been Sherlock Holmes´ final adventure.

That adventure describes intrigue and a clever scheme to discredit an internationally known figure.

But it involves more than that.

Unexpectedly Holmes´ own worst enemy in some ways would suddenly seem to be himself...would seem so indeed... were it not for the ominous presence of Colonel Moriarty seeking vengeance for the death of his late brother.  

And then, for Sherlock Holmes, everything is at risk ...reputation, self-esteem and life itself.

The newsletter of the prestigious and long-established SHERLOCK HOLMES SOCIETY OF LONDON says this…

Sherlock Holmes’ Last Case by Robert D’Artagnan (Xlibris, www.xlibris.com, $29.69 hardback, $19.54 trade paperback), takes Holmes and Watson to Vienna to meet Sigmund Freud, and gives a sensational new account of what really happened during the Great Hiatus - but it’s not a re-run of The Seven-per-Cent Solution. The year is 1908: At Martha Freud’s request Holmes investigates her husband’s peculiar behaviour, and Freud helps him to solve the mystery of Reichenbach and the years that followed.

Dr. Freud’s persecutor, we discover, is someone who will later have a profound effect on the history of Austria, and indeed of the world. It’s heady stuff, excitingly told…
