Sherlock Holmes: The Australian Casebook
Sherlock Holmes: The Australian Casebook | Christopher Sequeira
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
It is the year 1890. Sherlock Holmes fame has spread even to the colonies as he and his stalwart chronicler, Dr John Watson, are swept up in an array of mysteries down under. They find themselves summoned from location to location, traversing all corners of the strange island continent of Australia, challenged with mysteries and a geographical and cultural landscape with which they are unfamiliar.
From eerie shadows on cave walls, to an actors most grisly curtain call, an abduction by a demon, and an inexplicable drowning, to the odd affair of the reputed biggest man in Australia, a purloined bunyip, and to sinister, bearded bushrangers, the tales within this collection provide fresh perspective to the Holmes phenomena and will intrigue, delight and entertain readers.
The stories are written in Conan Doyles classic Watson persona by a range of Sherlockians, historians, established writers and some exciting emerging talents: Kerry Greenwood and Lindy Cameron, Meg Keneally, Kaaron Warren, Lucy Sussex, L.J.M. Owen, T.S.P. Sweeney, J. Scherpenhuizen, Will Schaefer, Robert Veld, Doug Elliott, Philip Cornell, Raymond Gates, Jason Franks, Narrelle M. Harris, Steve Cameron, and editor Christopher Sequeira himself, and with an introduction by Baker Street Irregular Bill Barnes, and illustrations by Philip Cornell, J. Scherpenhuizen and Marcelo Baez.

Such a beautiful winters day today at the property. 15C/59F with a perfect blue sky & no clouds. A lot of the time I wish I lived somewhere that has snow in the winter, then a day like today happens & I‘m grateful to be born Australian. #greenandgoldforever #IStillCallAustraliaHome

Jeg Just what I was thinking here in the west. I‘m sitting outside in the sunshine about to read. Thought how lucky I am to live here. A beautiful winters day. Jeans and tshirt just perfect. 6y
