Sherlock Holmes the Golden Years: Five New Post-retirement Adventures

by Kim H. Krisco

Overview

Sherlock Holmes lamented, "I fear that retirement will elude me." It surely does in this five-story chronicle: The saga begins with The Bonnie Bag of Bones that lead the infamous duo on a not-so-merry chase into the mythical mountains of Scotland and ultimately to the "the woman" who is tangled within a mystery that has haunted Holmes for a quarter century. Curse of the Black Feather continues the adventure in which Holmes teams up with the Irregulars and a gypsy matriarch, to expose a diabolical "baby-farming" enterprise. Their quest arouses a vicious adversary, Ciarán Malastier, who has Holmes struggling for his very life. Maestro of Mysteries begins with a summons to Mycroft's office and ends with a deadly chase in Undertown, far beneath the streets of London. Malastier escapes, but only into the next adventure. The Cure that Kills sees Holmes and Watson in hot pursuit of Ciarán Malastier, racing across America and pitting them against the largest detective organization in the world. In the final story, The Kongo Nkis Spirit Train, Holmes and Watson travel to the Dark Continent to derail a "spirit train" that ensnares people's spirit, and enslaves their bodies. In the end, this historically accurate chronicle sheds new light on greatest mystery of all, Sherlock Holmes himself.

About the Author

Kim Krisco, author of three books on leadership, is now delighted to follow in the footsteps of the master storyteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by adding five totally new Sherlock Holmes adventures to the canon. He captures the voice and style of Doyle as Holmes and Watson find themselves unraveling mysteries in and around turn of the century London that, as Holmes puts it, "appears to have taken on an unsavory European influence." Meticulously researched, all of Krisco's stories read like mini historical novels. Indeed Kim trekked to Aviemore Scotland, and climbed Ben Macdui Mountain, so he could better capture the authentic feel of the setting for The Bonnie Bag of Bones - the first of Holmes's post-retirement adventures. In Sherlock Holmes - The Golden Years, Kim Krisco breathes new life into the beloved "odd couple," shedding new light on Holmes's and Watson's protean friendship that is becoming richer and "puckish" with age. Kim lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in a straw-bale home he built himself... a place he's been trying to sell for some time.
