Synopsis

Lying on a lounger outside a flyblown café near Naples, Mike reflects on the last few months. He'd set off for the wedding of the charismatic Al, whose closed community is in the Calder Valley. Three months later, Mike's wearing a white robe, standing over an open grave.
Alan Newcombe vividly immerses us in the life of Gritstone House. There's no electricity or running water — or contact with the outside world. And Al pulls the strings in a house where there's fraud, secret burials, and clandestine murder.
Gothic, serious, yet brimming with wit and humour, Gritstone is an impressive debut.

    "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" heralded the triumphant resurrection of the world's greatest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, after his apparent (and untimely) demise in the story "The Final Problem." Under intense pressure from his fans to bring him back after having killed off Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle finally relented and, in "The Adventure of the Empty House," explains how Holmes escaped the same, dismal fate as his nemesis, Professor Moriarty.   
    What follows are some of the most enjoyable and celebrated stories of the Holmes canon, which includes "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton," "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" and the puzzling mystery (with pictographs) - "The Adventure of the Dancing Men."   
    "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" is easily one of the most thrilling and enjoyable collections in the Holmes canon and is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
