The Return of Solar Pons

The third Solar Pons collection

Solar Pons is back in a third major collection with thirteen tales ranging from the complex problem set forth in 'The Adventure of the Lost Dutchman' to the events chronicled in 'The Adventure of the Swedenborg Signatures' or the exploits of 'The Adventure of the Penny Magenta', 'The Adventure of the Trained Cormorant', 'The Adventure of the Little Hangman', 'The Adventure of the Remarkable Worm', 'The Adventure of the Camberwell Beauty'. From a puzzle with supernatural overtones 'The Adventure of the Devil's Footprints', to the early exploration of atomic secrets 'The Adventure of the Rydberg Numbers' the tales also have a double pastiche not only of the Master of Baker Street, but also of the sinister Oriental of Limehouse! These tales will bring back long-missed Baker Street days.
