The Lost Casebooks of Sherlock Holmes Three Volumes… av Donal Thomas
The first part of this book, The Secret Cases, should have remained secret, wIth Holmes smug, haughty and impotent, unable to influence anything worthwhile. I kept reading, but every story had the same Holmes where we're lucky to get no more than one useless input each. Needless to say, I did not finish this book.

I finished this book a couple weeks ago and honestly I don't remember much of the story. It's an acceptable Sherlock book though.

He also found time to act as a mercenary Admiral, playing a vital role in the independence struggles of Peru, Chile, Brazil and also, latterly, Greece.
