IN THE WORLD of criminal detection Sherlock Holmes has no equal. His cases have been vividly chronicled by his friend, Doctor Watson; making the two of them household names throughout the world.

Now fans of the great detective can fascinate themselves with the first ten of these early stories. Once again, you can stroll with trepidation through the fog-laden streets and alleyways of old London Town and relive more of the early cases of Sherlock Holmes in ‘Mysteries Suspended’ by Frank McPartland
