The Adventure Of The Pharaoh's Curse (The Assassination Of Sherlock Holmes Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The boisterous equinoctial gales of fall had past, leaving the trees in the yard behind my home stripped bare and puddles in the fallow garden. After many years where I imagined that my wounds had fully healed, with the advance of time and the change in the weather, I felt again their once familiar ache. At the time, I was busy in my study with the writing up an adventure from my extensive archive of cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes over the years of our mutual association. Little did I know at the time that the facts of that particular undertaking paled in comparison to the most remarkable and dramatic events that were about to unfold. I was experimenting with a new technique, which I had adopted after reading about the practice by Mr. Jefferson of Virginia. I was using one of his polygraph machines to simultaneously create a duplicate of the adventure I was documenting. I had sadly learned over the years that banks such as Cox & Co. can be robbed, that residences can catch on fire, and that hounds can on occasion feast upon pages of foolscap.
