Summer 1869, and Sherlock Holmes and his friend Irene celebrate her sixteenth birthday by attending the theater to watch a celebrated magician make a real dragon appear on stage. It is the London sensation. Sherlock and Irene meet the magician, Alistair Hemsworth – just as he is arrested for the murder of his rival, The Wizard of Nottingham. It seems that traces of the missing Wizard’s blood and his spectacles were found in Hemsworth’s secret studio. Hemsworth has a motive: not only is the Wizard his rival, but he also caused a scandal when he lured Hemsworth’s wife away. But is Hemsworth guilty? Sherlock has his doubts, and soon, so does the reader. With humor and plot turns as dizzying as a narrow London lane, Shane Peacock invites his readers into a fascinating world, and a fresh adventure with one of literature’s favorite characters. The Boy Sherlock Holmes series is an international success with readers and reviewers alike.

The basis for the Major Motion Picture Mr. Holmes starring Ian McKellen and Laura Linney and directed by Bill Condon.

He tends to his bees, writes in his journal, and grapples with the diminishing powers of his mind. But in the twilight of his life, as people continue to look to him for answers, Holmes revisits a case that may provide him with answers of his own to questions he didn’t even know he was asking–about life, about love, and about the limits of the mind’s ability to know. A novel of exceptional grace and literary sensitivity, A Slight Trick of the Mind is a brilliant imagining of our greatest fictional detective and a stunning inquiry into the mysteries of human connection.

DeMarco, A Study in Lavender queers the Holmes universe; the authors have devised stories in which Holmes and Watson are lovers, or investigate mysteries of inverts hidden from the laws and cultures of the Victorian era; even the indomitable Lestrade has his turn at love; and famous actors who helped put Holmes on the silver screen face trysts they never dared to film.

In a series of sparkling and intelligently presented essays, Dr. Montgomery takes a fresh look at the world "where it is always eighteen ninety-five" -- the world of Baker Street and Sherlock Holmes. Besides examining long debated problems, such as the true location of 221B, which was Holmes's University, how many times Watson was married, and where Watson was wounded, Dr. Montgomery also considers Holmes's activities in Tibet, his writings, his brother Mycroft, and his liking for fine wines. In a stunning climax to the volume, the reader is presented with a discussion between Holmes and Watson which will almost certainly cause him/her to pause, think, and deeply consider the depth of the message conveyed. Dr. Montgomery is a Sherlockian of long-standing. These essays prove that his time devoted to his subject has been very well spent indeed.

The first iteration of The Monographs was comprehensive yet only introductory when thinking about how to do things in the same way that Sherlock Holmes did. This time, we go even deeper. From looking at the practices of neuroscience that we can follow in order to develop our emotional control and the sharpness of our minds. Not only useful for when we approach casework but also for how we look at someone in order to figure out what they do for a living. Especially interesting because this is very often considered 'the holy grail' within this field. This second edition will build upon all of the elements from the first. Including even more theory development and practice drills. This is so much more than a compendium of riddles and puzzles. It is a critical thinking course to use with all aspects of your life and the mysteries you take up along the way. Instant memorisation and awareness of the people and things in your surroundings, managing the accuracy of your critical thinking in connection to any biases, reading the face, insights from the animals in someone's life, step by step programs for reading shoes, tattoos, phones, skin and even a treatise on criminal profiling elements that you can use in conjunction with your work and much much more. You will see the world in a way that nobody else around you will, unless they have a copy of this book. No longer will there be the footprints of a gigantic hound but the steps of you building your own capabilities within the world of the consulting detective.
