Foreword

 

"Have I ever recounted to you my three strangest cases?"

 

 

Behind the drapes at 221B Baker Street, the great detective still lounges  before the fire, awaiting his next client, listening to the scratchings of the pen while his close friend, his Boswell, is writing up an account of their latest case. The rain drums against the window. It's a sleepy scene. Come away with me now, and listen to three newly discovered stories from Watson's despatch case, three of Sherlock Holmes's strangest cases.

 

"If you're curious to see the world of Sherlock Holmes transformed in a way you've never seen before, you've got to check out The Strange Case of Eliza Doolittle. Well-written and well-conceived, this book has definitely earned the distinction of being one of the most intriguing and quirky literary mashups I've ever read! Not to be missed by fans of fun, creative reimaginings of classic characters and stories."

"The task leads from Parisian art galleries to van Gogh’s deathbed, where suicide more closely resembles murder.With a compelling central mystery, the novel makes excellent use of familiar historical figures to evoke a complex social world. In addition to its overarching case, the book makes moves to address the 'locked-room mystery' of Holmes as a person."

--Booklist

 "The Strange Case of the Pharaoh’s Heart is a paranormal romp with Holmes and Watson, and a time warp to the well-researched 1920s, from glittering haunts of the rich to the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

Beware! The game's afoot!"
