The Falling Curtain (The Assassination Of Sherlock Holmes Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
John H. Watson, the friend and biographer of the world’s first and foremost consulting detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. The manuscript was found in a much damaged condition, and in the restoration, a conscious decision was made to adopt American spellings of such words as ‘colour’ and ‘humour.’ Furthermore, for reasons known only to the author, and contrary to his more typical-style,[1] Dr. Watson divided into three separate narratives a unified tale of Holmes’ temporary return from the Happy Isles of retirement. A synopsis of the first narrative: In late 1909, Sherlock Holmes has been drawn out of retirement by the pleadings of Inspector Lestrade, who is distraught that Holmes’ one-time ally, Inspector Patterson, has been cruelly murdered. With Dr. Watson at his side, Holmes journeys to the British Museum, where priceless items have been vanishing. In the Egyptian Gallery, strange things have been seen and there are whispers of a curse laid down by the mummy of a disturbed Pharaoh.
