Sherlock Holmes and the Scorpion God
BY THE AUTHOR OF ‘THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY’ FROM UK PUBLISHER ENDEAVOUR MEDIA.
When a corpse is found in Soho, central London, covered head to foot in scorpion stings, the police turn to Sherlock Holmes. And as the body count begins to rise, the great detective starts 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.
“I would read an entire novel of Holmes fiction from Tony Richards” – Flames Rising reviews.

About the author
Tony Richards
198 books45 followersMy latest book -- from UK publisher Endeavour Media -- is a bit of a departure for me. THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY -- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... -- takes the Great Detective all over the world, from the States to Africa to the Far East, taking in locations in Europe and the Caribbean along the way. How did I come to write these 13 new mysteries? It's explained in my blog, below.
I'm a writer mostly of supernatural fiction, author of a series of fantasy thriller novels set in the magic-filled town of Raine's Landing, Massachusetts. Currently, that series is up to #6 -- WITCH HUNTER --.with a seventh on the way.
But I write regular crime fiction too, with numerous tales published in AHMM, and a second novel featuring my ex-FBI agent turned private detective, Matt Barrett, is now out from Cemetery Dance Publications. It's called THE TRIBE. (The first novel was THE DESERT KEEPS ITS DEAD).
I've seen to publication almost 100 short stories, enough to fill 8 collections, the latest being THE UNIVERSAL AND OTHER TERRORS (Dark Renaissance Press), and my work has appeared in Asimov's SF, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Weird Tales and numerous top anthologies including Year's Best Horror.
