The Reminiscences of Solar Pons

The fourth Solar Pons collection

Once more Solar Pons, walks on stage with a fourth major collection, with an intriguing variety of problems the curious puzzle of the antique sovereign boxes narrated in 'The Adventure of the Mosaic Cylinders'; the riddle of the body in the thirteenth coffin told in 'The Adventure of the Mazarine Blue'; the perplexing matter of the man devoted to British bowlers 'The Adventure of the Hats of M. Dulac'; the incredible plot to foment a religious war 'The Adventure of the Black Cardinal'; the disturbing facts in the murder of a psychic client 'The Adventure of the Blind Clairaudient' and others. Here once again is the Holmesian method and the London of Sherlock Holmes come alive.

Solar Pons has won a place for himself among the outstanding exponents of deduction.
