Sherlock Holmes, The Case of the Buntingford Prayer Book

Sherlock Holmes, The Case of the Buntingford Prayer Book

(64 pages - estimated - illustrated.)

Sherlock Holmes and his equally famous biographer, John Watson, have passed into the mists of time, long ago.

But not every tale has been told.

Drawing upon original text material, recently discovered, James G. Watson can now present this account of a case which his cousin, John Watson, felt was too sensitive to publish within the lifetimes of any of the principals involved.

The peaceful atmosphere of an unremarkable country church is rudely disturbed by two unforeseen events; a storm damages its roof and organ, but worse is to come; the Church's one claim to distinction (a priceless artefact, known as the Buntingford Prayer Book) has disappeared from a securely-locked and completely intact safe, of which there are only two key-holders - the Rector and his Church Warden - both of them pillars of the community and beyond reproach.

The situation is an impossible one ... until Holmes is called in ...

James G. Watson M.D. has reconstructed this account from a draft left by his cousin, the late Dr. John Watson, whose scruples would not allow of its publication until the principal actors in the case were beyond the grave. Only now can the truth be told and the reasons behind the disappearance (and re-appearance) of a priceless national treasure be fully explained.

All the clues are there, as the story unfolds, but only a mind such as that of Holmes can sift the relevant from the irrelevant, and draw the necessary deductions which lead to the surprising solution of this mystery.

A must for all who enjoy the intellectual challenge of the original Holmes' stories, as told by their original author.
