From the earliest days of Holmes' career to his astonishing encounters with Martian invaders, the "Further Adventures" series encapsulates the most varied and thrilling cases of the worlds' greatest detective.

Format:Paperback
In "The Scroll of the Dead" by David Stuart Davies, BSI, Sherlock Holmes begins by exposing a fraudulent medium, but soon finds himself pursuing a ruthless fanatic who will not stop at murder to obtain the scroll which is the key to immortality. A decadent dandy, a vicious sprig of the aristocracy and the hot-headed daughter of an archæologist lead Holmes and Watson to adventure in rural Norfolk and to mortal peril amid the lakes and mountains of Cumberland. I hailed the book on its first publication in 1998 as a rattling good yarn, and a re-reading confirms that description.

Format:Paperback
and this story doesn't disappoint. The book starts with Holmes exposing a 'medium' and then in typical fashion leds onto murder. As usual Scotland Yard have reached a 'dead end and call on ther services of Holmes. This is when the excitement starts and in typical Holmes fashion what Scotland Yard think is just a burglary gone wrong turns into something more sinister. I was gripped from the beginning and couldn't put it down until I reached the end. Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great detective story.
