Sherlock Holmes: The Centurion Papers: The Second Collection
The Second Collection of Sherlock Holmes stories from The Davies Brothers, winners of the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writers Showcase (supported by the London Book Fair)... The Centurion Papers is a thrilling new series of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Too explosive for publication, kept hidden for a hundred years... until now.
The Missing Parrot
When Lady McMillan’s beloved pet parrot, Rodney, goes missing along with the scullery maid, she enlists the help of Holmes and Watson to track down the kidnapper and bring Rodney home. The mystery, however, is far murkier than it first appears, and the stakes are ever so much greater than the safe return of a stolen bird…
The Montmartre Murders
Presumed dead, Sherlock Holmes is on the run from Moriarty’s acolytes… Lying low in Paris, an incognito Holmes finds himself in a city at the cusp of a cultural revolution. When a series of gruesome crucifixions sweeps the arts district of Montmartre, only one man can solve a mystery that will shake the famous City of Lights to its foundations. Even undercover, you can’t keep a great detective down…
The Curse of the Baskervilles
At last, the sequel to The Hound of the Baskervilles!... Watson is presented with a note from a mysterious stranger. Upon it is written one word: BASKERVILLE... Almost a decade after Holmes and Watson faced down the legendary beast on the moors, the duo is pulled into a chilling new mystery when tragedy plagues that cursed family once again. Ghostly voices from the dead, victims savaged on the hills, and a giant hound that is very real indeed... Can Sherlock Holmes defeat his most villainous foe yet?
Three stunning new episodes in the Sherlock Holmes canon from Dr Watson’s recently found Centurion Papers - uncovered by The Davies Brothers, authors of Hudson James and the Baker Street Legacy.

Excellent set of stories
So this is the second book of stories from Dr. Watson... these are all excellent Sherlock Holmes stories. The Davies Brothers have done a wonderful job of capturing Sherlock and his loyal Dr. Watson at their best... I've said this before but I can't help but here Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as I read these excellent mysteries... I would highly recommend these books to any Sherlock Holmes Fans...

Vintage Holmes
Well, almost. With the exception of the slightest plodding here and there this might almost have come from the pen of Conan Doyle
