The Return of the Giant Rat of Sumatra
(2026)(Book 64 in the New Sherlock Holmes Mystery series)
A novel by Craig Stephen Copland
The Giant Rat of Sumatra was a story Holmes refused to let be told.
Too gruesome … too scandalous … too unfit for school boys to read.
But in 1904, the Giant Rat returned to London. Another family is murdered in the same way as the first.
A daughter escaped in 1897. A son escaped in 1904.
But in 1904, Holmes has retired. He refuses to become involved. He is on his way to his beehives in the South Downs.
The horrors of the new case, so very much like the horrors of the first case, may prove irresistible.
A headstrong orphaned boy seeks justice for his family. Holmes has to keep the boy safe. It won’t be easy.
Follow Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, young Paul Crutchfield, and a motley crew of strange characters as they seek to halt the revenge being wreaked by the Giant Rat of Sumatra.
It was not until 1919 that Holmes agreed to let Dr, Watson publish the stories. The world may still not be prepared.
