Sherlock Holmes: The de Gascoigne Mummy
In the fourth book of the Skull of Kohada Koheiji series, Holmes and Watson are engaged by Lady Elizabeth de Gascoigne to find an Egyptian mummy that has escaped from its case in the British Museum, injured an attendant and is on the loose in London.
Despite Holmes' injunction, clients troubled with vampires, apparitions, mummies and disembodied skulls did mount the seventeen steps at 221B Baker street and apply to his agency and he was reluctantly obliged to investigate their claims. In this series of novelettes, Holmes and Watson pit their skills against supposedly supernatural predators and probe evidence that suggests ghouls and ghosts are behind the strange happenings in a grimy house in Stepney, on board one of Her Majesty's men o' war in the Thames, at the British Museum, at the Japanese Village Exhibition and at a séance in a genteel villa in West London.
Have ghosts had the temerity to challenge Sherlock Holmes? Or are human agencies at work?

About the author
Mike Hogan
31 books33 followersI've lived most of my life in Africa, Asia and the Far East manufacturing handicrafts and teaching. I decided to quit regular work and write. There wasn't really a plan, just an instinct that I could write in different historical and contemporary settings.
I completed a Sherlock Holmes novel trilogy in which Winston Churchill, aged twelve, joins Sherlock and Watson at 221B Baker Street. All are available on Amazon.
My semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel, Hamlet and Me is on on Kindle and soon in paperback. A boy learns about life as he moonlights at the Old Vic theatre in London during the rehearsals for the O'Toole Hamlet in 1963.
Two collections of Sherlock Holmes short stories are also on Kindle and paperback, and another novel, Sherlock Holmes - The Scottish Question, are published, and I will make Hamlet and Me and a book set in Ancient Rome in 475 AD available on paperback in 2016.
My comedy on the aftermath of the crazy 2016 US presidential elections on Kindle and in paperback.
