The Rivals Of Sherlock Holmes

The Rivals Of Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is the most famous fictional detective ever created. He and Dr Watson will forever be associated with the gaslit and smog-filled streets of late 19th and early 20th century London. Yet they were not the only ones solving mysterious crimes and foiling the plans of villainous masterminds in Victorian and Edwardian England. The years between 1890 and 1914 were a golden age for English magazines and most of them published crime and detective fiction. The Holmes stories spawned many imitators and, as this collection of 15 short stories shows, many of their adventures were as exciting and entertaining as those of the master himself.
