This is a second collection of humourous bridge stories from the author of Tales Out Of School. This time Silver turns his satirical eye on the classics of film and literature: Sherlock Holmes, Moby Dick, and even Dracula cannot escape involvement in Professor Silver's adventures. As always, a wide selection of fascinating bridge hands makes the stories even more enjoyable.
This book has twelve chapters all in the style of other books. If you are more literate than me I am sure that you will pick up more of the literary references but I picked up enough to be amused. Simultaneously the book tells a story and describes various bridge hands.
