Synopsis "Light in the Darkness: The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (in English)"
Sherlock Holmes and his biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, return in the collection LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS, a series of further adventures into both the darkest crevices of the human soul, as well as our profound capacity for compassion.In Part I: THE FIRST OF CRIMINALS, Holmes and Watson descend into the horrors that lurk in the minds of men who have gone terribly wrong. A terror stalks the darkest corners of London's twisting lanes in The Adventure of the Monstrous Blood. A one-great hero has been afflicted by a dreadful psychosis in The Adventure of the Mad Colonel. The Black Death returns, placing all of London at risk, in The Adventure of the Fateful Malady. Finally, Holmes and Watson must confront a tragic villain at the scene of their first meeting, in the case that induces Holmes to hang up his deerstalker hat, The Adventure of the Barren Grave.Then, in Part II: THE SEASON OF FORGIVENESS, Holmes and Watson embark upon a trio of uplifting cases occurring during the midwinter holidays. With Holmes bed-ridden after an injury, Watson must be his eyes and ears when an old coin and a missing man intimate the recurrence of an ancient plot with potentially explosive political ramifications in The Adventure of the Spanish Sovereign. A physician is accused of poisoning his patient's Christmas wassail in The Adventure of the Manufactured Miracle. Finally, a dying man's last words and a madman's attack upon Christmas trees send Holmes and Watson on the tracks of a decade-old crime in The Adventure of the First Star. The compilation concludes with The Grand Gift of Sherlock, a final letter from Holmes to Watson at the very end of World War I, which is sure to delight bibliophiles with its depiction of Watson's bookcase and its moving testament to the enduring power of friendship. All seven adventures are told by Dr. Watson in the finest tradition and spirit of such classics as The Adventure of the Speckled Band and The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.This edition contains fully-annotated versions of the cases, containing a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare these newly unearthed tales by Dr. John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of the world's first consulting detective.
