The Unique Hamlet: A Hitherto Unchronicled Adventure of Mr. Sherlock Holmes


Vincent Starrett - 1920
    From his window Sherlock Holmes diagnoses the man as a collector of rare books, on his way to ask for help finding a missing volume.

As Holmes and his steadfast companion, Dr. Watson, investigate, they discover that rare-book collectors can be just as cunning and diabolical as any villain ever dreamed up by the Bard of Avon.   A founder of the Baker Street Irregulars and the author of an indispensible biography, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Vincent Starrett combined a scholar’s authority with a fan’s enthusiasm in his appreciation of the great detective. No one was better suited to write a new adventure for Holmes and Watson, and The Unique Hamlet is both a loving homage and a thrilling mystery.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
