Description
The fourth Solar Pons collection
Once more Solar Pons, walks on stage with a fourth major collection, with an intriguing variety of problems ? the curious puzzle of the antique sovereign boxes narrated in ‘The Adventure of the Mosaic Cylinders’; the riddle of the body in the thirteenth coffin told in ‘The Adventure of the Mazarine Blue’; the perplexing matter of the man devoted to British bowlers ? ‘The Adventure of the Hats of M. Dulac’; the incredible plot to foment a religious war ? ‘The Adventure of the Black Cardinal’; the disturbing facts in the murder of a psychic client ? ‘The Adventure of the Blind Clairaudient’ ? and others. Here once again is the Holmesian method and the London of Sherlock Holmes come alive.
Solar Pons has won a place for himself among the outstanding exponents of deduction.
“the best substitutes for Sherlock Holmes known.” Vincent Starrett
