Produktinformationen zu „The Sherlockian “
Die Leidenschaft für Sherlock Holmes begleitet den Literaturforscher Harold White schon sein ganzes Leben. Nun ist der weltweit größte Conan Doyle Experte ermordet aufgefunden worden und nur Harold White ist in der Lage, die Hinweise, die der Täter am Tatort hinterlassen hat, zu deuten. Und dies führt ihn nicht nur auf die Spur eines skrupellosen Mörders, sondern auch auf die Spur von Arthur Conan Doyles verschollenem Tagebuch und ein Geheimnis für dessen Bewahrung Conan Doyle vor über einem Jahrhundert alles riskiert hat.
Klappentext zu „The Sherlockian “
Hurtling from present day New York to Victorian London, The Sherlockian weaves the history of Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into an inspired and entertaining double mystery that proves to be anything but "elementary."In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective's next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning-crowds sported black armbands in grief-and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin.
Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had "murdered" Holmes in "The Final Problem," he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be missing, and in the decades since, has never been found.... Or has it?
When literary researcher Harold White is inducted into the preeminent Sherlock Holmes enthusiast society, The Baker Street Irregulars, he never imagines he's about to be thrust onto the hunt for the holy grail of Holmes-ophiles: the missing diary. But when the world's leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel room, it is Harold-using wisdom and methods gleaned from countless detective stories-who takes up the search, both for the diary and for the killer.
