Sherlock Holmes : The Centurion Papers: The Second Collection : 2
(Autor) The Davies BrothersFrom The Davies Brothers, winners of the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writers Showcase (supported by the London Book Fair)... The Centurion Papers is a thrilling new series of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Too explosive for publication, kept hidden for a hundred years... until now. Three more thrilling episodes, uncovered at last... The Missing Parrot When a pet parrot goes missing along with the scullery maid, Holmes and Watson are enlisted to track down the kidnapper. The mystery, however, is far murkier than it first appears, and the stakes are ever so much greater than the safe return of a stolen bird... The Montmartre Murders Presumed dead, Sherlock Holmes is on the run from Moriarty's acolytes... When a series of gruesome crucifixions sweeps the arts district of Montmartre, only one man can solve a mystery that will shake the famous City of Lights to its foundations. The Curse of the Baskervilles Watson is presented with a note from a mysterious stranger. Upon it is written one word: BASKERVILLE... Almost a decade after Holmes and Watson faced down the legendary beast on the moors, the duo is pulled into a chilling new mystery when tragedy plagues that cursed family once again. Ghostly voices from the dead, victims savaged on the hills, and a giant hound that is very real indeed...
