The Binomial Asteroid Problem: A New Sherlock Holmes Mystery 26

New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries #26

by Arthur Conan Doyle

THE BINOMIAL ASTEROID PROBLEM. The deadly final encounter between Professor Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes took place at Reichenbach Falls on 4 May 1891. But when was their first encounter? When did Holmes first come to know that there was a evil genius behind a massive web of crime? This new story answers that question. What began with nothing more than a stolen Gladstone bag on wheels quickly escalates into murder and more. And if Holmes and Watson do not move fast enough, it could become much worse. This new story is a tribute -- a 'prequal' -- to the Canonical story of The Final Problem.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

I always look forward to reading one of Copland’s series on Holmes. This one did not disappoint. Holmes and Watson are visited by what seems a mundane problem. It soon takes spin and the game is a foot.
Great quick read.

Good but not best

The author writes good pastches but this not one of his best. It is more of an Exploratorium or background than solution to the mystery.
