From the Back Cover
Sherlock Holmes solved many more cases than were recorded in the adventures published during his lifetime.
Doctor John Watson, faithful friend and biographer of Sherlock Holmes, nonetheless took the trouble to make notes of these adventures he shared with the famous detective, placing his manuscripts in tin boxes, which he then stored in the vault of a London bank.
Recently, these boxes have come to light, and the tales contained in them have been edited and published.
Here are the three adventures of Sherlock Holmes which lay at the bottom of the second box:
- Sherlock Holmes and the Russian Bear: where Holmes must save a friend from the villainies of Count Orloff of the Okhrana, the feared Russian secret police.
- Sherlock Holmes and the Hand of Glory: a grisly and gruesome discovery in the outbuildings of a country house. A sleepy Warwickshire village hides a multitude of secrets.
- Sherlock Holmes and the Missing Spoon: It's only a teaspoon, but it is valuable and it is missing. How can Holmes refuse a former schoolfellow's request to find it?
