About the author
Ross Husband is a retired film director, marketing and PR consultant, scholar of the English language and etymology, member of The Society of Authors, The Sherlock Holmes Society of London and The Sherlock Holmes Social Network; he lives with Glenys, his partner, in Norfolk East Anglia and San Agustin, Gran Canaria. With some forty years’ experience of writing for technical and professional journals, newspapers and documentary films, this is his first work of fiction.
Based on a deep affection from childhood for the legendary characters of Sherlock Holmes and his loyal colleague Doctor John Watson, this debut novel is the first of six stories comprising an officially authorised continuation series – The Revival of Sherlock Holmes – offered as a tribute to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the immortal characters he created.
“These stories do not attempt to update, alter, or lampoon the original genre, which in my view requires no improvement. Conan Doyle’s format is sound.”
Unlike many other Sherlock Holmes pastiches, these stories are authorised and approved under contract in the USA by Conan Doyle Estate Ltd, www.conandoyleestate.co.uk and by Jonathan Clowes in the UK and European Union countries. They are respectfully offered to those many devotees of Conan Doyle’s original canon of work who perhaps yearn for some more in the same vein – unadorned, unmodernised, vintage Sherlock Holmes. I do hope you enjoy them.
