  What became of the cases Sherlock Holmes failed to solve? The mysteries that remained unsolved, the riddles that never found their explanation? 
  Now, the truth behind these secret stories is finally revealed, straight from Dr. Watson’s pen. 
  In this exclusive collection, readers will embark on five thrilling adventures that Holmes never allowed to be published. From the perplexing affair at the Ingraham Institute to the mysterious case of Harun al Rashid’s manuscript, the master detective’s abilities are challenged as never before. 
  Experience Holmes and Watson at their most vulnerable, where brilliance meets adversity and even the keenest minds can be led astray. These stories cast new light on the legendary duo, revealing a more human side of the world’s greatest detective. 
  This edition marks the first English translation of the Swedish original from 1908, bringing these remarkable cases to English-speaking listeners for the first time. 
  A must-listen for all Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts. 
  Frans Oskar Wågman (1849-1913) was a Swedish parish priest, hymn translator, and author. His most popular works are two collections of parodic short stories, published under the pseudonym Sture Stig. Here we meet a Dr. Watson who is considerably less impressed with Sherlock Holmes than in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories.

  Booker-nominated Graeme Macrae Burnet returns to the historic Scotland of His Bloody Project to tell the multi-layered story of madness and murder in the MacPhee family. 
    
  During the summer of 1857 on the distant Scottish Island of Benbecula, Angus MacPhee, returning from a fortnight’s work at a house a few miles away, seems to have lost his mind, forcing his family to keep him shackled to his bed. When he is finally allowed to go at large, his erratic behaviour leads to the conviction that he should be committed to an asylum. 
    
  Five years later, Malcolm MacPhee is living alone in the house where his brother’s madness led to horrifying ends. Isolated, ostracised by his small community, Malcolm is haunted, the stench of his brother’s crimes lingering as the reek cleaves to the thatch. Is he afflicted by the same madness? And to where has his sister Marion disappeared? 
    
  Drawing on letters, asylum records, and witness statements, Graeme Macrae Burnet returns to the historic Scotland of His Bloody Project to construct a beguilingly layered narrative about madness, murder, and the uncertain nature of the self. 
    
  “The novel’s devilish appeal lies in the intoxicated and isolated Malcolm’s narration from within the confines of his family’s ‘skullhouse,’ where he muses about his own morality … The author once again proves his mastery of moody psychological thrillers.”—Publishers Weekly
