Fabulous
news, Dear Reader;
As of today I can announce the forthcoming publication of my novel
Sherlock Holmes and the Whitechapel Murders-An account of the matter
by John Watson, M.D. I
am proud to say the publishing house MX Publishing is producing the
book, though at this stage whether as an E-Book or in Print remains
to be arranged.
An
original account, the story follows the murders as they happened,
with the World's first Consulting Detective facing a murderous
conspiracy that includes a plot to steal the Crown Jewels themselves.
History tells us what happened-now I reveal why it
happened.
The
facts are all there, but making sense of them will take you to the
very edge of madness.
What follows is a short extract from the book-what you must
do is follow the clues...
AN EXLUSIVE PREVIEW OF;
SHERLOCK
HOLMES AND THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS
AN
ACCOUNT OF THE MATTER
BY
JOHN WATSON, M.D.
The
perilous chase continued, the going slippery and treacherous on the
slime-coated slates of the houses adjacent to the brewery. The gap
between buildings here was mercifully narrow, allowing even one as
unsteady as myself to leap across with no more than a determined
step. More than once, my feet slipped on the wet tiles. It
was hard to look anywhere, but at my feet. I could not be
sure, but Holmes seemed to have the beast in his grasp when, with a
curse of dismay, he fell from sight. Concern for my friend impelled
me to greater effort, reaching the spot where he had disappeared. The
figure in the cloak had turned, waving a fist in the air in a gesture
of pure spite. ‘Damn you!’ My whispered curse came as I drew my
revolver, pausing only to take aim. Two shots rang out, shattering
the very air between us. I could not be sure if the heavy
bullets had found their mark; the fiend whirling around behind a
chimneystack a moment after I fired. A groan from the blackness
below-it was Holmes!.
