This new Sherlock Holmes adventure unites magic and mystery, and answers the question of why Houdini's coffin may be empty! Here is another wonderful Sherlock Holmes a pastiche from the prolific pen of Val Andrews. The author has a vast knowledge of conjuring and of Sherlockiana and in this exciting mystery he is able to combine both of his lifelong interests. The Egyptian Hall, Maskelyne's theatre of mystery, forms the perfect backdrop for this the most exciting and unusual adventure ever embarked upon by the famous sleuth and his faithful Boswell, Dr Watson. The loss of an article of great value - the property of a titled lady - by a conjurer during the course of a stage trick is but the prelude to intrigue, mystery and murder most foul. But hush we can say no more ... the game is afoot! Be sure that you are fully prepared for adventure before jumping into a hansom and returning to an age when the old Queen was still upon her throne and the fogs swirled through Baker Street.

In this exciting book, leading writer Val Andrews combines Sherlock Holmes - the amazing detective - and Billy Bunter - the famous overweight schoolboy - into one fast moving story. At Greyfriars School, the senior master has lost his manuscript for a history of the famous school. The headmaster calls in old boy, Dr Watson and seeks his influence to engage Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery. During his investigations the master detective not only traces the missing manuscript but is able to solve a number of other related puzzles including a murder case - for the local constabulary.

This real scorpion of a story with a sting in its tail will delight all fans of Sherlock Holmes. Here's another Sherlock Holmes pastiche from the fertile pen of Val Andrews. Again two areas of mystery are linked: the exploits of Sherlock Holmes and the secrets of master escapologist, Harry Houdini. Doctor Watson's collaborator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, finds himself drawn into the world of the fake psychics and Houdini is anxious for Holmes to unmask the perpetrators who prey on the innocent believers. Once he has been torn away from his beekeeping activities, Holmes's investigations lead him to some surprising locations including a Ruritanian castle. Sherlockians, historians and magic buffs will all be intrigued and delighted with this classic detective story which links fact and a little fiction to suggest what may have happened to Houdini after his death. Since the manuscript was completed it has been rumoured by investigators and reported in various newspapers that Houdini's coffin is actually empty; Val Andrews - by chance and synchronicity - has provided an answer that will amaze all readers. Again.....the game is afoot.

A distinctly unfortunate inventor discovers that he doesn't exist. Finding himself in this nightmare situation he consults Sherlock Holmes and presents the sage of Baker Street with one of his most baffling challenges. Is it a simple case of amnesia or something far more sinister? The story involves some hair-raising transcontinental adventures and nightmare dealings with the hazardous flying machines of the day. Dr Watson lends a little light relief when forced into door to door commerce. This is probably the most exciting of all of Val Andrews' many Sherlock Holmes adventures. It packs in everything that any reader could want and is a gripping classic detective novel packed with thrills and brilliant deductions. Val Andrews is well known to Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts around the world.

On the evening of 9th May 1911, a fire broke out backstage at the Empire Theatre, Edinburgh. The Great Lafayette; a spectacular illusionist and eight of his performers were consumed by the flames and as death shrouded the theatre, so a pall of mystery also surrounded the horrible events. Sherlock Holmes was called in to investigate what soon turns out to be yet another baffling mystery. Who and what had started the fire? Had it merely been a dreadful accident? This is one of Holmes's most riveting mysteries and the reader will be transported to a magical world in which Holmes not only reveals all the true facts concerning the death of Lafayette but discovers what almost seems to be another world frozen in time and concealed beneath the theatre in hidden passageways and secret chambers.

What starts as an evening's entertainment for Holmes and Watson soon turns into what may well be considered to be an unusually baffling mystery that seems to have no solution. Holmes and Watson take themselves to the Varieties but discover that the very place of entertainment that they have chosen appears to be haunted. A sandbag drops on to the stage narrowly missing one of the artistes .. and so begins another adventure for Sherlock Holmes. How George Robey, the noted British variety artist, is involved will only be discovered as the readers attempts to sort fact from fiction in yet another stunning mystery from Val Andrews. The author who is a distinguished Sherlockian takes on his favourite subject: Variety and Vaudeville again but this time features Sherlock Holmes and Watson!

The November of 1902 was living up to that season's reputation and I could scarce see the other side of Baker Street from the front window of number 221B. But my friend Sherlock Holmes seemed rather uninterested in my remarks concerning the weather and .... So begins yet another stunning adventure from the prolific pen of Val Andrews. A famous entertainer is invited by the King to give a command performance at Sandringham and tragically the brilliance of the performance is marred by the unexpected disappearance from the music room of a priceless painting. Sherlock Holmes undergoes the most awful experience (possibly the worst that man can endure) in this story and his powers of deduction are stretched to the absolute limit as he unravels yet another mystery from the fertile imagination of Val Andrews.

In the Torment of Sherlock Holmes, our master detective has fallen into a state of deep depression and Watson is distressed to find that there is absolutely nothing that he can do to help Holmes shake off his dreadful malaise. Watson takes himself off to Regents Park for a breath of fresh air and whilst there his attention is drawn to a black clad and heavily veiled woman who drops a ticket on the round. The ticket is for property lodged at the Victoria Railway Station. In an effort to help Holmes regain his interest in life and to shake off his state of gloom, Watson decides to use the ticket and to claim whatever may have been left in the property office. The item in question turns out to be a large and heavy hat box. The box intrigues Holmes and when it is opened it is found to contain some bloodstained clothing together with a most vicious butchers knife. This dreadful discovery and the baffling mystery surrounding it is just what is required to help Holmes out of his depressed state and starts him on what well may be considered to be his most unusual adventure!
