The Lost Casebooks of Sherlock Holmes Three Volumes… von Donal Thomas
The first part of this book, The Secret Cases, should have remained secret, wIth Holmes smug, haughty and impotent, unable to influence anything worthwhile. I kept reading, but every story had the same Holmes where we're lucky to get no more than one useless input each. Needless to say, I did not finish this book.
