Synopsis
The fifth title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape Books, The Adventure of the Two Flying Scotsmen, is an exhilarating combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story.
In this latest tale, Sherlock Holmes and Watson find themselves trapped on a Flying Scotsman bound for Edinburgh after being mistakenly led to believe that Sherlock is needed in Scotland to thwart a plot against the Queen. Readers will quickly discover that the plot in motion is rigging a rail race between the two Flying Scotsmen that day. A race where the Queen’s son Bertie has ill-advisedly lent money to a small gang of ne’er-do-wells within the household of the socialite Daisy Greville. A woman with whom Bertie is having a secret affair.
With Sherlock trapped on one train and the gang rigging the other, readers will face many challenges to thwart the gang and prevent the news of Bertie’s affair from reaching the public. Something readers must do before the race between the two locomotives concludes in Edinburgh.
The readers, like Sherlock, must solve the puzzles aboard the train and alert the authorities before reaching the stop at York. However, this isn’t the only challenge the readers will face as anti-monarchists – aware of the gang’s plot, also seek to destroy the monarchy's reputation by attempting to derail one of the trains so the money can be lost and Bertie’s secrets can be exposed.
With the reputation of royalty at stake, readers will follow Sherlock as he strives to solve the puzzles and prevent the royal scandal from breaking. If Holmes fails to solve the mystery, the train and the monarchy's reputation could be catastrophically derailed.
Puzzles include:
- Riddles
- Logic Puzzles
- Timed Challenges
- Mathematical Brainteasers
- Maps and Mazes

About the Author
Before writing puzzle-based books, Ormond Sacker served as note-taker and assistant to a London-based consulting detective, a role he held until being controversially superseded by a more qualified and less strangely named replacement. His military training, international travels, and experience of curious crime, together with an intimate relationship with the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, have given him a unique view of the world. Such a character is clearly the ideal author of a book of Holmes-based conundrums and problems. Ormond Sacker is sometimes mixed up. At such times he is no card smoker, and lives in cranked rooms.
