Sherlock Holmes: The Secret Files

BLACKMAIL, ESPIONAGE, AND CRAFTY BURGLARY: MYSTERIES ONLY SHERLOCK HOLMES CAN UNRAVEL An investigation into the disappearance of a headwaiter, 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 lead to the apprehension of an artful burglar; and a young woman is found dead in the Thames. Follow the unstoppable duo as they try to resolve how the contents of a matchbox 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. JUNE THOMSON, a former teacher, has published over thirty novels, twenty of which feature her series detective Inspector Jack Finch and his sergeant, Tom Boyce. She has also written six pastiche collections of Sherlock Holmes short stories. Her books have been translated into many languages. June Thomson lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
