Sherlock Holmes - The Skull of Kohada Koheiji and Other Stories (Sherlock Holmes Singular Tales)

By Mike Hogan

The 1882 Japanese Village Exhibition in Knightsbridge is being terrorized by a strange apparition. Is it, as the villagers believe, the ghost of murdered actor Kohada Koeiji, or is a dark human agency involved? "This agency stands flat-footed upon the ground and there it must remain. The world is big enough for us. No ghost need apply," Sherlock Holmes insists, but clients troubled with vampires, apparitions, mummies, and disembodied skulls mount the seventeen steps at 221b Baker Street, and he is reluctantly obliged to investigate their claims. In this collection of five short stories in Watson's traditional style, he and Holmes probe evidence suggesting ghouls and ghosts are behind the eerie happenings in a grimy house in Stepney, a macabre murder on board one of Her Majesty's men o' war in the Thames, Egyptian mummy antics at the British Museum, uncanny goings-on at the Japanese Village Exhibition, and ghostly presences at a séance in a genteel villa in West London. Have ghosts and ghoulies had the temerity to challenge Sherlock Holmes, or will Holmes and Watson uncover human agencies behind the supposed supernatural? Includes: Murder on HMS Inflexible The Ratcliffe Highway Affair The DeGascoigne Mummy The Reckoning of Kit Marlowe The Skull of Kohada Koheiji and a bonus story featuring 'real' (or unreal?) ghosts, just for fun, The Third Monk . Join Holmes and Watson on a ghost hunt!
