Showing results for "Mrs. Sherlock Holmes" in Literature & Fiction

Professor Moriarty’s new client is the manager of a West End theater. He’s three weeks away from opening his Christmas pantomime, the expensive spectacle that pays for the rest of the year. But after months of freak accidents and spooky incidents, the cast and crew are convinced the show is cursed. Worse, he’s out of money, and the rent is due.

Als Sherlock Holmes Dr. Watson tot in der gemeinsamen Wohnung findet, wird er von der Londoner Polizei festgenommen. Man verdächtigt ihn, den Mord an seinem besten Freund begangen zu haben. Alle Indizien sprechen dafür und sogar Mrs. Hudson ist von der Schuld des Meisterdetektivs überzeugt. Gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder stellt sich Sherlock Holmes seinem übermächtig erscheinenden Gegner und widmet sich seinem "schrecklichsten Fall": dem Mordfall an John H. Watson.

Professor and Mrs. Moriarty have a few weeks to kill before their theater opens. Happily, two small cases drop in their respective laps. Moriarty has what looks like a scheme to swindle army veterans out of their discharge pay. Angelina must find a missing servant by winkling her way into a circle of officers’ wives. Neither case seems terribly challenging - just enough to provide an agreeable competition.
