THE ADVENTURE OF THE MAD COLONEL (The First of Criminals Book 2)
November 1885. Dr. Watson is asked by an old friend to try to determine the cause of his father’s mental illness. Meanwhile, Sherlock Holmes is supposed to be resting from a great outpouring of energy, but a fishing trip to the English countryside sparks his interest. There Holmes and Watson find the ruins of a great military hero, surrounded by his loving family and friends. But is one of them actually responsible for Colonel Warburton’s madness? To find the truth will take all of Dr. Watson’s medical acumen, and perhaps an acute and original observation by his friend. Herein, we find the true tale of how Watson was the means of introduction to the notice of Mr. Sherlock Holmes of one of the most cunning villains he has ever faced. *** This edition contains both the basic story, as well as a fully annotated version containing a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare this newly unearthed tale by Dr. John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of Sherlock Holmes.
