Very Good - COLLECTIBLE Paperback Text/NEW, showing faint margin discoloration. First Edition, First Printing. Softcover/VG; sound w/light edge & surface wear. Fiendishly witty & entertaining 1974 novel by writer, film director of Star Trek fame, Nicholas Meyer (1945 -). A Sherlock Holmes adventure staged in Europe of 1891. 40-Week Bestseller & adapted to film in 1976 w/the same title. Ingeniously published as a "lost manuscript" of the late Dr. John H. Watson. The Introduction tells us Holmes did not die along with Prof. James Moriarity as we were all told in The Final Problem, That book was frabricated to allow privacy while Holmes' was in therapt with Sigmund Freud for cocaine addition (self-injected with a 7% -solution). Treatment's success allowed Holmes to thwart a European war while unravelling a sinister kidnapping plot. In a final hypnotic therapeutic session, Freud learns of Holmes' supressed childhood memories of his father committing suicide after killing his mother for adultery --- the lover being none other than Moriarty! Freud shares the revalation wtih Watson; both elected not to tell Holmes. Had they chose otherwise, given drug addiction cured, might revelation have robbed Holmes of his zealous dedication to fighting wrongs and pursuing justice? 237 pgs, 17 chapters in 2 parts: I, The Problem; II, The Solution. Meyer will author 3 more Holmes novels; they are: a, The West End Horror (1976); b, The Canary Trainer (1993); and c, The Adventure of the Peculiar Protocols (2019).
