(2026)(The third book in the Back to School with Sherlock Holmes series)
A collection of stories by Craig Stephen Copland
Back to School with Sherlock Holmes — Volume Three
Three new cases at three schools. In each one, students see what their elders cannot.
The Singular Tragedy of the Atkinson Brothers at Trincomalee Ceylon, 1887. Watson has kept this one back for twenty years, and readers of A Scandal in Bohemia will know why the title is familiar. Sent by the Foreign Office to investigate the shooting of an English trader, Holmes finds a harbour town of tea money, indentured labor and colonial rot and two murdered schoolboys from the local cricket team whose deaths nobody can explain. The answer lies in a dresser drawer, a pair of missing boots, and a secret that a decent man died trying to expose.
The Adventure of the Prioress's Tale Dover, 1905. Twelve girls from an exclusive school cycle up to Dover Castle at midnight to meet a dozen boys and look for a ghost. By morning the girls have vanished, and every one of them is the daughter of a duke, a banker or a Cabinet minister. With Scotland Yard baffled, the gutter press inventing atrocities by the hour, and a foreign hand behind the whole affair, Holmes recruits nine orphan boys who know every inch of Dover, and a deaf tennis champion who hears things nobody else can.
The Adventure of the Engineer's Mom Cambridge, 1889. A brilliant young engineer with a disfigured face limps into Watson's surgery. His mother, a famous adventuress, journalist and probable spy, has been missing a week, and men with knives are waiting at her door. Behind it all lies a secret Admiralty project that will change naval warfare forever, and a coded message from the cleverest captive in England.
Faithful to the Canon, grounded in real history, and threaded with Watson's own dry wit.
