Sherlock Holmes and Mrs. Rutledge

A novel by Thomas Hauser. Forthcoming from Pear Publishing, this riveting tale recreates the traditional Holmes for a new readership. It opens at 221B Baker Street on 19 October 1891 and is told, as ever, by Dr John H. Watson, the detective's chronicler and closest friend. Commingling the words of A. Conan Doyle with his own, Hauser fashions an interpretation true to the canon yet entirely his own. It introduces Victoria Rutledge, a figure destined to take her place among the most compelling in Holmes lore.
