Sherlock Holmes and the Disappearing Prince and Other Stories

Sherlock Holmes and The Disappearing Prince is a collection of four gripping and suspenseful stories, written by Edmund Hastie, echoing the style of Arthur Conan Doyle effectively and humorously.

â€˜Sherlock Holmes and the Disappearing Princeâ€™

It is 1904 and Sherlock Holmes receives an urgent telegram from an old friend, informing him of the mysterious disappearance of the Prince of Japan, from his rooms at university, without warning, and with no signs of a struggleâ€¦

Holmes and Watson rush off to investigate but all is not as it seemsâ€¦

A Russian cigarette, some dried pieces of soil, and absent rowing gloves are clues to solving this mysteryâ€¦

It is a race against time to find the Prince, before rumour gets out that he is missing, and panic starts to spreadâ€¦

â€˜A Wilful Caseâ€™

Sherlock Holmes is approached by a young woman in great distress, after the suspicious and unexplained deaths of her mother and brother, exactly a week apartâ€¦

She is the heiress to a great fortune, and suspects that someone is after her familyâ€™s moneyâ€¦

Only she and her younger brother remainâ€¦ But can Sherlock Holmes catch the killer before they strike again?

â€˜A Case for the Admiraltyâ€™

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson become involved in confidential government affairs when Holmes is employed by a Mr. Barton from the Admiralty, to discover the whereabouts of some important missing blueprints and documents for the creation of a battleshipâ€¦

The Admiralty is now being blackmailed for a sum of five million, with the treat of selling the blueprints to the Germans, if they refuseâ€¦

The future of the country rests on Holmesâ€™s ability to find the suspect in timeâ€¦

â€˜The Three-Faced Villainâ€™

Sherlock Holmes is approached by a distressed woman, who has been the victim of a robbery, not once, but three timesâ€¦

Each incident took place inside a cab, with different drivers, leading the woman to believe that a gang of robbers are terrorising unsuspecting tourists throughout Londonâ€¦

However, Sherlock Holmes thinks differently, and starts to imagine that the answer to this case is far more sinister, as clues start to emerge from the ladyâ€™s own homeâ€¦

Edmund Hastie was just fourteen years old when he compiled this extremely impressive collection of fluent, witty stories that recreate the worldâ€™s most famous and best-loved detective in a faithful, if tongue-in-cheek, tribute.
