From the Back Cover
The return of Sherlock Holmes to London after the "Great Hiatus" was revealed to the world in Dr John H Watson's famous tale "The Adventure of the Empty House," but was that the whole story? Why did Holmes in the dark about many elements of his plan? Since Holmes was being keenly observed by Colonel Sebastian Moran and his men, and a close watch was being kept on 221B Baker Street, how could Holmes have convinced him he was at home when he was not? Why did Watson, in mentioning the news of the day, omit the strange disappearances of London citizens and the reports of the "East End Ghosts?" With the publication of "Sherlock Holmes: The Coils of Time" we can finally read the whole story of what happened after the apprehension of Colonel Moran, and how all of time and space fit into a single night. In other stories, we learn just what Mrs Hudson's life was like, what Watson saw on his way back from Afghanistan, how Lestrade solved an impossible crime, the travails of a life in television, the perils of impersonating a Martian, and how a dog channeled his inner Sherlock Holmes.
