Following on from last month's The Astonishing Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in the Twenty-First Century, there's now some brand-new Holmes fiction available exclusively on Amazon Kindle. A whole new novelette, in fact. SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SCORPION GOD is a mystery that unfolds in a foggy and autumnal London eerily reminiscent of the way the city was back in Victorian times.

When a corpse is found in Soho, central London, covered head to foot in scorpion strings, the police turn to Sherlock Holmes. And as the body count begins to rise, the great detective begins to suspect all is not exactly as it seems.

A criminal mind most cunning is at work here ... not Moriarty, but a person bent on horrible revenge. And Holmes tracks him down through the city's fog-bound streets, only to find he has put his own life in mortal peril.

Something to enjoy during the Xmas break, perhaps?
