If the The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of your favorite novels, you surely remember its sinister, sordid end, don’t you? It was an inside job traced to Jack Stapleton (alias Rodger Baskerville II). Jack proved to be the knave who killed his own uncle, Sir Charles Baskerville, in an attempt to inherit Baskerville's estate.

But what was Jack’s motive? Was he just an indolent aristocrat who didn’t want to work for a living, preferring instead to live on inherited riches? Did he do it suddenly, without warning or out of desperation, after all attempts to get his share by just means had failed?

Sherlock Holmes solves a complex case in which he recovers millions looted from the biggest banks of France and England

Posted: 17-Apr-2024

The formula for looting large banks: distract the police by a prior high-profile crime and while they are disoriented and focused on it, loot the bank! In this Sherlock Holmes story, the formula is synchronously applied to steal millions from Banque de France and Bank of England by an international network of big time criminals. Yet, Sherlock Holmes and his French counterparts snatch victory from the hands of these powerful criminals just in the nick of time.

There’s a reason why the robberies are committed at the same time and hence the book’s title ‘Sherlock Holmes: The Synchrony Stratagem’. Read this book to find out, while you uravel a great story!

A second-generation Sherlock Holmes pastiche, yet equally impressive

After he passed, experimenting with new possibilities, locations, dimensions, situations, etc. that fans would love to see Sherlock Holmes in, A C Doyle’s imitators have churned out an impressive array of Sherlock Holmes pastiches. No fan can ignore them because they extend/complement Doyle’s originals well. This one imaginatively attempts to bring him right into our times (the year 2023, if you wish!) but since he died and was resurrected once before, another “resurrection” might not sell. The author works around that constraint by using a ‘secretary’ and his girlfriend to substitute for Holmes.

He successfully delivers an equally impressive story featuring the fictitious Loch Ness monster, Nessie. Check it out to see if, like me, you like it too!
