"His Majesty's Prison" chronicles a royal drama set within the formidable walls of Dartmoor Prison in Devon. Holmes and Watson are summoned by the Duchess of Sussex, who is deeply concerned about her husband, the prince. Somehow, he's managed to get himself imprisoned in Dartmoor. When she seeks their help for a covert rescue mission, the case quickly turns into one of Sherlock's most baffling and bizarre assignments yet.
"Doyle's Confessions" features Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Holmes and Watson, reflecting on his past. He expresses deep regret for his support of the Boer War, which contributed to the deaths of thousands in British internment camps. Despite Emily Hobhouse's efforts to expose the appalling conditions, the response was woefully inadequate, resulting in the tragic loss of many lives.
Maxwell Conroe's Holmes stories are renowned for their rich prefaces and detailed context, which not only clarify his intentions but also pique the reader's curiosity. His compelling prose offers a gripping read, skillfully blending entertainment with profound existential insights.
