Tales from the Deed Box of John H. Watson MD
"When a deed box in the vaults of a London bank was found to contain manuscripts detailing the deeds of Sherlock Holmes, the legendary detective, it was decided to make these tales available to the public. Now the truth can be told about three of Holmes previously undescribed cases: The Odessa Business, where Holmes wits are put to the test in a battle for diplomatic secrets, and a previously unknown member of the Holmes family is introduced. The Case of the Missing Matchbox describes a bizarre crime of passion, and chronicles Isadora Persano, the well-known journalist and duellist, who was found stark staring mad with a match box in front of him which contained a remarkable worm said to be unknown to science (Thor Bridge). And The Case of the Cormorant, where the the whole story concerning the politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant will be given to the public for the first time, as threatened by Dr Watson in The Veiled Lodger."--Publisher.
Secrets from the Deed Box of John H Watson MD
The deed box of Dr. Watson, presented to me some time ago by a friend who rescued it from the archives of a London bank, continues to produce treasures. The stories in this collection, which I have entitled Secrets from the Deed Box of John H Watson MD, all represent some aspect of Holmes and his adventures that has previously been undiscovered. In many ways these are (with the possible exception of The Bradfield Push, which Watson left unpublished for personal reasons) somewhat darker in tone than the stories that he did release to the public and publish in the Strand magazine. For some reason, Watson failed to date most of Holmes' adventures, and we must therefore make a guess at the chron...

The Return of the Pharaoh
In Nicholas Meyer's The Return of the Pharaoh, Sherlock Holmes returns in an adventure that takes him to Egypt in search of a missing nobleman, a previously undiscovered pharaoh's tomb, and a conspiracy that threatens his very life. With his international bestseller, The Seven Per Cent Solution, Nicholas Meyer brought to light a previously unpublished case of Sherlock Holmes that reinvigorated the world's interest in the first consulting detective. Now, many years later, Meyer is given exclusive access to Dr. Watson's unpublished journal, wherein he details a previously unknown case. In 1910, Dr. John Watson travels to Egypt with his wife Juliet. Her tuberculosis has returned and her doctor ...
Sherlock Holmes and the Skull of Death
In December of 1912, at the London Geology Conference, a fake ape-man fossil, composed of an ape's jaw and part of a human skull, was presented as evidence of a newly discovered species of prehistoric man, named "Piltdown Man" for the site of its purported discovery in England. The hoax was a distraction to science for over forty years, and an embarrassment to anthorpology when modern analysis exposed the fakery. Sherlockian scholars have long wondered at the singular omission of the infamous Piltdown hoax from the chronicals of Dr. Watson. Did Sherlock Holmes investigate and fail to discover the truth? If he discovered the truth, why did he not expose it at the time? New evidence indicates that Holmes DID learn of the hoax. Why he kept it secret is a sinister tale of grisly murders, weird intrigues, and the arcane politics of a Europe bent on rushing madly toward what historians would call World War One. Holmes and Watson risked death following a trail of clues to a fantastic plot to use the London Conference in a scheme to unseat the crowned heads of Europe. Holmes detected the hand of Professor Moriarty behind the scenes, and finally had Moriarty in his revolver sights.

Unexpectedly, he finds himself standing in the path of a madman - who suddenly and irrationally blames Watson for his apparent defeat.
