What it is:
A never-before-published adventure from the pen of Dr. John Watson, steadfast companion of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, complete with clues to help the reader solve the mystery.
Why we love it:
The brilliant sleuths strike again! As the tale opens, we discover that Holmes has vanished and Watson has been framed for a grisly murder! Writing from a damp cell in Coldbath Fields penitentiary, the falsely convicted prisoner recounts the events leading to his arrest... and provides twelve removable, facsimile clues that point to the true culprit. Among them are:
an article torn from a newspaper in California; a puzzling manuscript ripped into several pieces; a catalog of Victorian medicines and marital aids; plus a telegram, an arrest report, an empty matchbook, a train schedule, and much more. It's up to you to sift through the clues and solve the thrilling whodunit. When you think you've identified the culprit, slice open the final signature of the book (sealed at the printer) to read the remainder of the story.
