Three adventures of Sherlock Holmes, very much in the style of the original stories, by a writer who has been acclaimed as the reincarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Odessa Business introduces a new member of the Holmes clan, as Sherlock Holmes investigates a death at an academy for young ladies, which opens more doors than were previously suspected. The Case of the Missing Matchbox reveals the truth about the "remarkable worm, said to be unknown to science", which drove men to insanity. The Case of the Cormorant takes Holmes and Watson to Cornwall, where dark doings are afoot, which nevertheless must be kept hidden from the public.
