The Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes : Volume Two

Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes #2

by Denis O. Smith

Denis O. Smith's highly acclaimed Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes continue, as Holmes and Watson find themselves involved in a further three cases—intriguing puzzles, which bring into play all the skills of the great detective. In 'The Secret of Shoreswood Hall', Holmes resolves the problem of a missing husband, and unlocks a centuries-old family secret—but not with the results that he would have wished. When Mr Horace Barclay calls at Baker Street to involve Holmes in 'The Adventure of the Green Umbrella', Holmes and Watson become involved in a rather amusing diversion—one which, however, is not without its darker moments. Finally, in a Christmas adventure set away from the familiar surroundings of Baker Street, Holmes solves the mystery of 'The Christmas Visitor'. These three adventures further enhance Denis O. Smith's reputation as one of the finest modern practitioners of the Sherlock Holmes story.

About the author

In the 1980s I published five Sherlock Holmes short stories in individual booklets: The Purple Hand, The Unseen Traveller, The Zodiac Plate, The Secret of Shoreswood Hall and The Christmas Visitor.
In the 1990s, these stories were collected, with the addition of one new story, The Green Umbrella, as the first two volumes of The Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes. Two further volumes of The Chronicles followed, containing a further eight stories.
In 2014 and 2016, two volumes of The Lost Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes were published, containing a mixture of new stories and older stories which had appeared over the years in magazines, anthologies etc.
Now, forthcoming in December 2016, is my first Sherlock Holmes novel, The Riddle of Foxwood Grange.
