The Oriental Casebook of Sherlock Holmes by Ted Riccardi

The Oriental Casebook of Sherlock Holmes by Ted Riccardi

What exactly happened during Sherlock Holmes's great hiatus after his supposed death and triumphant return three years later? Riccardi images his travels in Europe and Asia during those years in nine original short stories set in places as far flung as Sumatra and Tibet. Given the uncertain grip of the British empire over its colonies, the murders and other mayhem Holmes confronts often have potentially grave political repercussions. Filled with local color and Holmes' signature wit and logic, Sherlockians the world over will relish this missing chapter in the life of the world's greatest detective.

“The Oriental Casebook of Sherlock Holmes is filled with fascinating detail about the Orient, and provides an answer as to what Holmes was up to during those missing yearsAnd of course he had to be reunited with his most trustworthy of friends, Dr. John Watson! Who else could possibly relay to us the adventures of the world’s greatest detective?” -- Anne Perry
“I’ve had a wonderfully entertaining time following Sherlock Holmes’ astonishing adventures in the Orient. Ted Riccardi has captured the precise cadence and style of Dr. Watson’s accounts of his famous friend’s cases.” -- Santha Rama Rau, author of Home to India
