The Problem of Threadneedle Street (The Assassination of Sherlock Holmes Book 2)
November, 1909. Sherlock Holmes has been called out of retirement to successfully solve the mystery of the British Museum’s Pharaonic curse. But while he longs to return to his villa on the South Downs, a new threat has arisen. A twisted riddle of the sphinx suggests that Holmes and Dr. Watson are wading through deep waters. And when the main vault at the Bank of England is inexplicably plundered, Holmes realizes that his enemies may be trying to bring down the nation itself. Only the piercing acumen of the world’s foremost consulting detective could see that this theft was but the first blow, and that the villain is certain to mount another daring robbery. From a baffling series of seemingly unconnected events, Holmes must make the brilliant leaps of deduction required in order to determine where his adversary next plans to strike. Only then can Holmes set his own traps and turn the tables on his foe. But will Holmes be able to anticipate all of the forces that are aligning against him? *** This edition contains both the basic story, as well as a fully annotated version containing a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare this newly unearthed tale by Dr. John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of Sherlock Holmes.
