The Secret Notebooks of Sherlock Holmes

> In Sherlock Holmes's London, reputations are fragile and scandal can be ruinous. In order to protect the names of the good (and the not-so-good), Dr Watson comes to the decision that his accounts of some of his friend's most brilliant cases must never see the light of day. Concealing the manuscripts in an old despatch box deep in the vaults of a Charing Cross bank, Dr Watson preserves the honour of others and in doing so proves himself a true gentleman as well as a good friend. But then a hundred years pass, and the mysteries outlast the memories of those they once could have harmed... >In the fifth of her forays into the Watson archives, June Thomson effortlessly recreates Holmesian London, and in doing so pulls the reader back into a fictional world that has become the stuff of legend.
