THE BALD-HEADED TRUST. No sooner has Sherlock Holmes arrived in Plymouth for a short vacation enforced by Dr. Watson than he finds himself in the middle of an unsolved crime – the Telegraph Murders. Two electrical engineers were found dead after completing a contract for the new Western Union telegraph office. Holmes’s very unusual helper in this case is an exceptionally pious – but still attractive even if sturdily built – woman who, with her husband, is the proprietor of a Christian bookstore. Some evil genius – and the true Sherlockian can easily guess who – is behind a scheme to rob shareholders of millions of pounds and is prepared to commit murder to make sure the diabolical plan works. Holmes, Watson and his new recruits must first deduce what is going on and then some the crime. Readers who are sympathetic to devout Christian believers will enjoy seeing some saintly folks help the world’s greatest detective. Lovers of Sherlock Holmes mysteries will enjoy this new story, written today but as faithful as possible to the characters, heroes, villains, language, and setting of the original Sherlock Holmes.
