Publisher's Synopsis
Here are a few essays about puzzlers in and about Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories: The Adventure of the Devil's Foot, and the author's cautious inserts of the Christian sacraments he learned as a boy; a liturgical opposite: the Hebrew rabbi in A Scandal in Bohemia; The Boscombe Valley Mystery murder re-emerging in a contemporary divining of a murder at Pemberley; the definitive solution and identification of Jack the Ripper (search no further); and the Salvation Army and Suffragettes picked-on and prodded in The Adventure of the Red-headed league. -- Cover, page [4].
