"When a deed box in the vaults of a London bank was found to contain manuscripts detailing the deeds of Sherlock Holmes, the legendary detective, it was decided to make these tales available to the public. Now the truth can be told about three of Holmes previously undescribed cases: The Odessa Business, where Holmes wits are put to the test in a battle for diplomatic secrets, and a previously unknown member of the Holmes family is introduced. The Case of the Missing Matchbox describes a bizarre crime of passion, and chronicles Isadora Persano, the well-known journalist and duellist, who was found stark staring mad with a match box in front of him which contained a remarkable worm said to be unknown to science (Thor Bridge). And The Case of the Cormorant, where the the whole story concerning the politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant will be given to the public for the first time, as threatened by Dr Watson in The Veiled Lodger."--Publisher.
