Holmes Volume 1:Enigma, Detective, Boro Lad

Classic Edition

*** NOW REPUBLISHED AS THE ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE ***

SIX SHORT STORIES INSPIRED BY THE WORKS OF SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

What if Sherlock Holmes, with his dry wit and natural predilection for data, deduction and logic, had been born on Teesside and lived in present-day Middlesbrough?

This smart-arse Boro lad hides his talents under a bushel of misdirection, self-deprecation and good old Teesside sarcasm, served up with some rather coarse language.

With the assistance of his associate, Doctor John Watson, a psychologist he met during some court-ordered counselling sessions, Holmes wends his way through a string of adventures, baffling and entertaining as he goes, with many a three-pint problem solved over his favourite libation, a pint of Engineer's Thumb in the Twisted Lip, before he staggers back to Flat 1B, 22 Baker Street, Middlesbrough.

"This is one of the best books I have read this year." - Stacey, Whispering Stories

"Holmes Volume 1 is hugely entertaining; it's a wonderful modernisation of Sherlock Holmes whilst staying true to the inimitable features of Conan Doyle's original characters." - Michelle Ryles, The Book Magnet

"Very entertaining, very witty and very memorable." - Susan Hampson, Dusk till Dawn
