Die letzten Geschichten von Sherlock Holmes Reihe

Diese Reihe etablierter Detektivgeschichten stürzt die Leser in das London des Jahres 1925, wo sich ein alternder, aber immer noch scharfer Sherlock Holmes und sein treuer Begleiter Dr. Watson düsteren Fällen widmen. Gemeinsam mit einer neuen Haushälterin und dem Sohn einer alten Bekannten von Scotland Yard decken sie komplexe Verbrechen auf, die sie in die Unterwelt der Stadt und in künstlerische Kreise führen. Die Erzählungen verbinden klassische Deduktion mit zeitgenössischem Nervenkitzel und erforschen, was es bedeutet, auch im fortgeschrittenen Alter ein Detektiv zu bleiben.

    Holmes and Watson are plunged into the secret underworld of 1925 London, where a serial killer of musical (gay) men is afoot. The killer has a little list, and Sherlock is on it. Why? And what have the Bloomsbury Group and the Diogenes Club got to do with anything? Thanks to Royal Jelly, Holmes is a fit 71-year-old, who has lost his interest in bees and returned to detecting. He's not quite as sharp as he used to be, but he's still pretty sharp, and a bit of a vigilante in his old age. He meets up with his colleague and friend, Dr. John Hamish Watson, a 72-year-old not-quite-so-fit-at-all twice-widower, who hankers after the good old days of derring-do. They are joined by their excitable new housekeeper at 221B Baker Street, the brilliant, buxom Miss Lily Hudson and are helped in their work by Jasper Lestrade of Scotland Yard, the ambitious, respectful son of the late George Lestrade.

Together they explore the case of the Hampstead Ponies, where a murdered baby is found upon the Heath; the Chelsea Necrophile and the mysterious organ that plays itself; the Holland Park Cannibal with a taste for home-made sausages; the truly nightmarish Richmond Werewolf; and the dangers of contagion in the search for the Hammersmith Hound.
