Seven more new revelations from the despatch box of Doctor Watson.

 

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are visited by Mr Josiah Endicott, an injured enquiry agent who believes that three recent murders are connected.

He explains that he was attacked shortly after interviewing a friend of one of the victims, and warned to discontinue his investigation. A remark of one of his assailants appeared to confirm that the murders were committed with a common motive and, as his client is clearly unable to proceed, Holmes agrees to assume the case.

The duo call upon Miss Daisy Scanlon, the young woman visited by Mr Endicott before he was injured who, although distressed, proves to be of some assistance. Returning to Baker
Street, it is not long before a message from her arrives requesting a further meeting. Holmes realises at once that the appointment is a trap, but they set out to see what can be learned after ensuring that they are armed. They narrowly escape with their lives, immediately revisiting Miss Scanlon to discover that she has suffered a fatal accident in her home. Although it is not apparent, Holmes deduces that she has been murdered.

These lead him to believe that the murders are linked to The Experience Club, an establishment barred to all except gentlemen who have performed extraordinary feats. There he recognises agents of Imperial Germany, and eventually uncovers a plot to assassinate the Queen.

It is learned that German agents have abducted a Member of Parliament, in order to gain information, and also his daughter as an incentive to gain his co-operation. Holmes knows, despite discouragement from Scotland Yard and his brother Mycroft, that these incidents also must be addressed, to prevent a blow to our country that would devastate the Empire.

 Inspector Lestrade brings Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson an account of six murders. The only fact common to them all is that the victims had all served terms of imprisonment for serious crimes. It appears that someone believes that they should have suffered execution, and has set out to take the law into his own hands. A note is found, signed 'The Justice Master', warning that he will not be deterred from his purpose, nor does he spare anyone who gets in his way. The inspector is angry with his superiors because he feels that their efforts to apprehend this man have been insufficient, hence his consultation with The Great Detective. The murders continue and Holmes, with the occasional interference of an Old Bailey solicitor, Mr David Grantly-Knight, resolves to bring the killer to justice. The Justice Master proves to be as elusive as he is merciless, and narrowly escapes a trap set by Holmes and Lestrade. Then comes an encounter near Plantain Castle.

Tales From the Annals of Sherlock Holmes

 Seven more adventures from Doctor Watson's despatch box.

 

The ultra-secret government department known as Sector Three has been assigned an impossible mission. Its success would bring vital information to those who work in the shadow-world of espionage, but the chances that the operative would survive are close to zero. Who but a madman would give such an operation any consideration? Only, perhaps, an agent who knows his life expectancy to be short - a man who fate has already sentenced to death.

 The adventures continue. Seven more cases from the files of The Great Detective.
