It’s 1898. Kismet brings about a chance reunion at a London club between Dr. Watson and Colonel “Maiwand Mike” Fenlon, former military comrades from their Northwest Frontier days and the desperate Battle of Maiwand.

A week later an urgent cable seeking Sherlock Holmes’s help arrives from the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a British Crown Dependency 30 miles off the coast of Normandy. A retired high-ranking British Indian Army officer who commanded the troops at Maiwand has dropped dead. Colonel Fenlon is in a holding cell in island’s capital St. Peter Port awaiting trial for his murder.

Reviews

Tim Symonds’ Sherlock Holmes and the Strange Death of Brigadier-General Delves.  “The novelette in the first part of the book unfurls a mystery that can engage any devotee of the genre.

Vincent G (Professor Vincent F. A. Golphin  Author, educator,  journalist)
