A Peril, a Theft, an Impossibility, and a Shooting: Four Sherlock Holmes adventures

The game is once more afoot! Culled from a collection of unpublished papers accidentally found by the editor, four more cases, comprising two novelettes and two novellas, and written by the incomparable John H. Watson are presented to the reading public. Inspector Lestrade brings "John Doe" to London's first consulting detective, hoping he can unravel the mystery of the man's identity, not knowing that there is more mystery involved than his forgotten identity. The theft of the payroll destined for the employees of the Wallace Collection brings Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to exonerate the young man accused of the theft, and perhaps bring the guilty party to justice. Inspector MacDonald calls Holmes to investigate the murder of a mathematics teacher at an elite boy's school, and the impossible disappearance of the man's murderer. And finally, Joseph Davies of Special Branch calls on both Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes to help him confirm or discount the confession of the shooter of a Member of Parliament during a protest at his home by the Women's Suffrage Society Four baffling cases, perhaps, but not for Sherlock Holmes. In somewhat different versions, "The Amnesiac's Peril" was published in The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, Part XLI, and "The Theft at the Wallace Collection" and "The Impossible Adventure of the Vanishing Murderer" were previously published in The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, Part XLII.
