Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Hissing Shaft

By Rex Harpham

Rex Harpham’s debut novel takes Holmes and Watson to the Highlands of Scotland – but even this idyllic setting is not immune to murder …

Inverdaigh House and estate – home to Sir Hugh McFarlane – with its extensive woods, loch and thunderous waterfall, known locally as the Hissing Shaft, present a wonderfully pastoral setting. But it is a place where repeated attempts are made upon McFarlane’s life. Finding the local police of limited assistance, Holmes and Watson are soon faced by a ruthless adversary determined to murder their client. They will need all their courage and skills to avoid traps set for them as they become the prime target in a tense game of cat and mouse …

A pleasing debut by a fine Holmesian writer, Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Hissing Shaft will delight Holmes fans of all ages.
