Doctor Watson’s Terror

1882.
The Irish Republican Brotherhood (the Fenians) are fighting for independence from the UK. As Doctor Watson is walking back towards Parliament Square, two carriages collide in a serious accident. He rushes to help – and simultaneously a novel dynamite device is discovered outside the Home Office and defused before it can go off. During a subsequent visit to Sherlock Holmes, Watson receives a telegram from the Royal Irish Constabulary, asking him to visit Ireland, and the two earlier incidents start to seem related. Once in Ireland, Watson and his own sidekick Bowler, find themselves embroiled in an assassination plot and are kidnapped by Fenian rebels. Can the two Englishmen escape from the rebel gang in time to prevent further murders? ‘Doctor Watson’s Terror’ is part of Patrick Mercer’s bestselling series of Doctor Watson adventures that include ‘Doctor Watson’s War’, ‘Doctor Watson’s Bout’ and ‘Doctor Watson’s Charge’.
