About this title

Synopsis

'With great disbelief Cornelius J. Watson, a descendent of Doctor John H. Watson and his wife, Mary, nee Marsden, held the yellowed, dog-eared manuscript in his hands.'Thus we are introduced to one of the greatest finds of the new millennium, the discovery of a manuscript of Doctor Watson's; the finding of a previously lost adventure of the greatest detective ever to exist, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.All Holmes' fans can rejoice in the discovery. The Adventure of the Dead Rabbits Society is Holmes at his best.

From the Author

A few astute readers have inquired about Mary's "nee". Originally this tale was to take place in a more modern NYC and was to be solved by a detective other than Holmes. However in writing the book I found that the detective was (inevitably I suppose) acting more and more like Holmes and so I decided to place the mystery into the 1890's and "bury" the original mystery solver and use Holmes himself.  The original character was a rich man named J. P. Marsden (with J.P Morgan in mind) and his "Watson" like character was his butler and driver and loyal friend who will not be named here. I liked the Marsden character very much and so I gave him a fitting "memorial tombstone", i.e., Mary's "nee".
