Sherlock Holmes and the Ciphered List
I don't know if I am permitted to advertise my wares on this site or this section of it, but forumites who are aficionados of Sherlock Holmes may like to know that I have just had my debut novel published:- "Sherlock Holmes and the Ciphered List".
It is written under my pen-name of Simon Trelawney, and published by Breese, an imprint of Baker Street Studios, which specialises, inter alia, in Holmesian pastiche.
It is a paperback, 340pp, £10.99, and available via the publishers at: www.baker-street-studios.com or on Amazon.

Good luck with the book Neville
I think this should be in the Adverts section of the Forum though

Hi Mick,
Thanks. I wasn't sure because the Adverts section seems to be restricted to specifically chess-related items, which my novel isn't (though it does have a number of chessic allusions and themes).

That is fair enough, Neville.

Re: Sherlock Holmes and the Ciphered List
It's been quite a while since I last read the sixty canonical stories but the blurb seems to have allusions to at three (possibly four) of them that I can see straight off.

Re: Sherlock Holmes and the Ciphered List
Quite so. My novel weaves elements of many of the canonical stories. You probably spotted "Charles Augustus Milverton" (death of a blackmailer); "His Last Bow" (German spy ring) and maybe "The Valley of Fear" (decoding of document).Richard Thursby wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 9:44 pmIt's been quite a while since I last read the sixty canonical stories but the blurb seems to have allusions to at three (possibly four) of them that I can see straight off.

Re: Sherlock Holmes and the Ciphered List
I didn't spot His Last Bow (its placing immediately after The Valley of Fear making it possibly less memorable in comparison). Presumably "top secret government documents" references either or both of The Naval Treaty and The Bruce-Partington Plans.

Re: Sherlock Holmes and the Ciphered List
Indeed. And 'The Second Stain'. These four are the only spy-related stories in the canon.Richard Thursby wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 11:24 pmI didn't spot His Last Bow (its placing immediately after The Valley of Fear making it possibly less memorable in comparison).
