THIS BOOK IS SIGNED BY JUNE THOMSON.  AMONG THE STORIES IN THIS BOOK ARE:  THE CASE OF THE MILLIONAIRE'S PERSECUTION, THE CASE OF THE COLONEL'S MADNESS, THE CASE OF THE ADDLETON TRAGEDY, THE CASE OF THE FRIESLAND OUTRAGE, THE CASE OF THE SHOPKEEPER'S TERROR, THE CASE OF THE SMITH-MORTIMER SUCCESSION, THE CASE OF THE MAUPERTUIS SCANDAL AND AN HYPOTHESIS REGARDING THE IDENTITY OF THE SECOND MRS. WATSON. THE BOOK ITSELF IS IN VERY FINE CONDITION BUT THE DUST JACKET (EVEN THOUGH IT IS PROTECTED BY A BRODART) HAS LITTLE INDENTATIONS ON THE WHITE SQUARE THAT HAS THE TITLE IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE BOX AS WELL. YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT IT TO SEE THE LITTLE MARKS. THOSE MARKS DON'T EVEN BREAK THROUGH THE LAMINATE. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF NEW BOOKS WITH MORE PROBLEMS TO THE DUST JACKETS THAN THIS ONE. IN MY OPINION THIS BOOK IS VERY FINE AND THE DUST JACKET IS NEAR FINE.

NOW BACK TO THE AUTHOR: ONE OF THE BLURBS ON THE BACK OF THE JACKET READS: 'MOST HOLMES PASTICHES FAIL TO RECAPTURE CONAN DOYLE'S MAGIC, BUT THIS IS AN ENJOYABLE EXCEPTION.' THIS FROM KENNETH MARTIN, THE LEGAL EXECUTIVE JOURNAL

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIVES THAT JUNE THOMSON WRITES THE BEST SHORT STORIES ABOUT THE WORLDS FIRST CONSULTING DETECTIVE. I WILL ALSO ADMIT TO BARRIE ROBERTS BEING THE BEST FULL LENGTH NOVELIST OF SHERLOCK HOLMES ADVENTURES.
