Sherlock Holmes: The Golden Years

Sherlock Holmes said, "I am ready to leave my profession, but I fear that retirement will elude me." Indeed it does in this five-story collection that chronicles Holmes's and Watson's post-retirement adventures. The saga begins with The Bonnie Bag of Bones that lead the infamous duo on a not-so-merry chase through London and ultimately to the "the woman" who is tangled within a mystery that has haunted Holmes for nearly a quarter century. Curse of the Black Feather continues the adventures in which Holmes teams up with the Irregulars and Cinka, a gipsie matriarch, to expose a diabolical baby-farming enterprise. Their efforts arouse a vicious adversary, Ciaran Malastier, who brings Holmes face to face with a horrible death. Maestro of Mysteries begins with a summons to Mycroft's office and ends with a deadly chase in Undertown far beneath the streets of London. Malastier escapes, but only into the next adventure. The Cure that Kills sees Holmes and Watson in hot pursuit of Ciaran Malastier, chasing him from Broadway to Battle Creek and pitting themselves against the largest detective organization in the world - the Pinkerton Agency. In the final story, Sherlock Holmes: Beyond All Reason, Holmes attempts to answer the ultimate question: Where did we come from and where do we go? Here Holmes's heart, long hidden beneath a thin veneer of propriety, does battle with his intellect that has ruled for so long. All in all, this new five-part chronicle solves the greatest Holmes mystery of all ...the man himself.
