"Yes you see Mr. Holmes, I have been witness to a horrible and grisly murder ..." And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to the very door of an aristocratic gentleman who seems to be thoroughly implicated in cold-blooded murder. This is the first collection of Eddie Maguire's short stories but it will come as no surprise to the reader that they are created with a love of the subject and close attention to the era, in which Holmes worked and flourished.

A poisoned pawn in chess is defined as any pawn that, if captured, would lead to a serious disadvantage for that player. Here, presented for your enjoyment, are three new cases for Sherlock Holmes. Someone, or something, that may at first seem trivial, is actually the key to something far more consequential. The first such problem is by Emanuel E. Garcia, an author who has published numerous scholarly articles on psychoanalysis, including investigations into several classical composers. Here his attention is drawn to Hamlet and a new interpretation, which reveals for the first time, just who is the real power behind the thrown in Denmark. Roger Jaynes is an established author with two other published Sherlock Holmes novels. This latest adventure concerns Sir Arthur Wilcox, a high-ranking civil servant. Sir Arthur is about to embark on a diplomatic mission of the utmost importance to Athens. However, when his dead body is discovered close to his open safe, it is feared that the Government may fall, though Sherlock Holmes has other ideas. Finally, Eddie Maguire tells the strange tale of a seemingly innocent weekend invitation to Dorset at which Holmes and Watson meet the Kaiser. Soon some of the Kaiser's personal possessions go missing and what starts as a theft culminates in a possible assassination plot.

Eddie Maguire's Sherlock Holmes and the Bolshevik Plot follows on immediately after the conclusion of Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Mission, in which our two heros find themselves in Italy where it is clear that the future of Europe and its leaders are in imminent danger from a shadowy mastermind. There are rumours that the Tsar of Russia has fallen ill, and that this may be part of a plot against the crown heads of Europe. Holmes and Watson must make their way as fast as possible from Brindisi to St. Petersburg. There will be much danger along the way as they travel by sea, train, river boat and horseback through the Balkans with their unknown adversary hot on their heels. History tells us that the Tsar and his family were subjected to poisoning, and also that they will survive on this occasion. However, certain questions remain unanswered. Was the poisoning part of a Bolshevik plot? What role did Holmes play in saving the Tsar? Who was the 'shadowy mastermind' following Holmes and Watson? Answers to all these questions can be found in Eddie Maguire's exciting final novel Sherlock Holmes and the Bolshevik Plot.
