Jednoho podzimního rána vystoupí doktor Watson z vlaku na nádraží Waterloo, a náhle se stane svědkem obrovské exploze, několikáté v řadě, která po sobě zanechá tucty mrtvých a raněných.Stojí za tímto zločinem irští separatisté, jak se domnívá většina lidí?

Zjistí, že pohřešovaná žena – Hannah Woolfsonová – se sama dala do vyšetřování zmizení své kamarádky Sophie. Sophie se přidala ke skupině známé jako Elysiané. Jde o polonáboženskou sektu posedlou starověkými řeckými mýty a rituály, kterou vede na první pohled charismatický sir Philip Buchanan. Hannah má podezření, že se v této sektě dějí hrůzostrašné praktiky, které její kamarádku Sophii mohly stát život. Rozhodne se proto ke skupině přidat pod falešným jménem, aby zjistila, jak se věci mají. Holmes souhlasí s tím, aby se Hannah k sektě přidala a zjistila co nejvíce informací, nicméně Watson je proti. Bojí se, že jí hrozí velké nebezpečí. A není daleko od pravdy – sir Philip totiž usiluje o zdokonalení společnosti skrze klasické ideály a neštítí se pro to udělat cokoliv… Užijte si desátý díl ze série Fantastický Sherlock Holmes – série příběhů s Sherlockem Holmesem z pera autorů jiných než Arthura Conana Doyla.

Máme pro vás špatnou zprávu. Všechno, co jste kdy četli o Sherlocku Holmesovi, byla lež.Lež sepsaná s těmi nejlepšími úmysly, přesto však lež.Doktor John Watson, Holmesův věrný společník, nechtěl, aby se svět dozvěděl pravdu; protože taková pravda by odhalila příliš mnoho, příliš skutečností o silách za hranicemi našeho světa, o netvorech, kteří se vymykají zákonům přírody i logiky.Nyní však máte přiležitost přečíst si, jak to bylo doopravdy. Jaká byla skutečná povaha zranění, které doktor Watson utrpěl v Afghánistánu? Kdo vraždí chudáky v londýnské čtvrti Shadwell? Zneuctěný lékař, čínský obchodník s opiem, nebo něco dočista jiného? A kdo k čertu ukradl z Britského muzea vzácnou kopii Necronomiconu?James Lovegrove vykresluje alternativní svět, v němž se příběhy sira Arthura Conana Doylea prolínají s běsy H. P. Lovecrafta a navzájem se doplňují jako jin a jang. Racionalita proti nelogičnosti. Rozum proti šílenství.A – v tomto prvním díle trilogie zvlášť – světlo proti stínům.

Oba společníci však i přesto neváhají, když jsou povoláni do nechvalně proslulého blázince Bedlam, kde najdou pacienta hovořícího r‘lyehštinou, jazykem Prastarých. Kromě toho je strašlivě zjizvený a nevzpomíná si, kdo je.Detektivové zjišťují, že tento pacient byl kdysi vědcem, studentem na Miskatonické univerzitě a jedním ze dvou lidí, kteří přežili k záhubě odsouzenou cestu po řece Miskatonic, na níž měl být polapen polomytický shoggoth. Jak se však ocitl v Londýně, zbavený rozumu?

"Holmes could be rude, impatient, abrupt, and his intolerance of fools was legendary. I tried to show all this, all of the man''s incredible brilliance. But there are some cracks in Holmes''s marble, as in an almost-perfect Rodin statue. And I tried to show that, too. It''s difficult for me to say what I may have given to the image of Holmes. Faithful to Conan Doyle''s text, certainly. Also, I''ve tried to bring out the emotion that is there in Holmes. On the surface he seems a cold, sometimes dark, rather off-putting figure. But deeper down, I think, he''s a man of feeling." JeremyJeremy Brett is still recognised as the most celebrated incarnation of Sherlock Holmes which he presented for ten years. Jeremy delighted viewers with his dashing, arrogant, moody interpretation of the most popular famous detective he brought a brooding intensity to his finest role - one of disturbing power.

At the age of ten in the mid-1970''s, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry. The years passed, and David collected, read, and chronologicized literally thousands of traditional Canonical Sherlockian pastiches. Then, in 2008, with time on his hands while laid off from his civil engineering job during the Great Recession, David finally found his way to Watson''s Tin Dispatch Box, producing The Papers of Sherlock Holmes. These first nine short stories originally sat on a shelf in his Holmes book collection before he eventually decided to share them with others. That first collection was initially published by a small press in 2011, and then in 2013 by the premiere Sherlockian publisher, MX Publishing - and after that, there was no turning back. Since then, in addition to editing over 60 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian anthologies), David has written and published over 80 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of anthologies and magazines.

A master of deductive reasoning who can solve the most difficult crimes by spotting obscure clues overlooked by others, dilettante sleuth Sherlock Holmes was the hero of 60 stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1927. With the help of his loyal friend, Doctor Watson, Holmes brought countless crooks, thieves, swindlers, and murderers to justice. He even rose from the dead after Doyle tried to dispatch him in his twenty-fourth adventure, and readers protested. Some Sherlock Holmes stories rank among the most famous in detective fiction, among them "A Study in Scarlet," "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Speckled Band," and "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Here, in one volume, are all four full-length novels and 56 short stories about the colorful adventures of Sherlock Holmes—every word Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Baker Street's most famous resident.

As Sherlock Holmes once conceded to Dr. Watson, 'If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outréresults, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.' And with such a spirit for investigation and discovery does David Grann set out in The Devil and Sherlock Holmes to unravel the truth of twelve great, real-life mysteries. Although Holmes is the subject of just one of the mesmerizing true stories in this collection, all twelve contain elements of intrigue.Many of the protagonists are sleuths: a Polish detective trying to determine whether an author planted clues to a real murder in his post-modern novel; an arson investigator racing to prove whether a man about to be executed is innocent; a legendary French con man questioning whether he is the one who is suddenly being conned; and scientists stalking a sea monster.
