Synopsis
Mr Sherlock Holmes did not always see eye to eye with Inspector Lestrade of the Metropolitan Police, but when disgrace and financial ruin loomed before Lestrade, it was to Baker Street that the Scotland Yard man went for help. An old case, badly handled, had returned to haunt Lestrade. An apparently innocent man, who had spent twenty years in gaol as a consequence of Lestrade's failure, was released on appeal, determined to exact his revenge on the man who had put him behind bars. Holmes's interest is stirred, and he and Lestrade, along with Dr Watson, attempt to solve the new case, and to clear Lestrade of the accusations made over the old one. A treat awaits every reader as the mystery unfolds.
Synopsis
Lestrade is deeply troubled. The disappearance of five boys has been left unsolved for almost twenty years. Under Lestrade's watch, the wrong man was arrested and imprisoned for murder. But after a long appeal, the court has suddenly overturned its decision.
The man is free. Lestrade has been disgraced.
Holmes is not so convinced by this new verdict. He believes he can help Lestrade prove, once and for all, that his man is guilty. With Holmes and Watson officially retired, and Lestrade forced out of Scotland Yard, the three must endeavour to solve the mystery outside of the law.
Can Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson save Inspector Lestrade's reputation? What evil will they uncover?
Sherlock Holmes and the Disgraced Inspector is a brilliant addition to the Holmes and Watson casebooks.
