Product Details

Nicholas Meyer returns to the world of Sherlock Holmes with The West End Horror, presented as another “posthumous memoir” of Dr. John H. Watson. Holmes and Watson are drawn into a series of murders surrounding London’s West End theater district, mixing classic Holmes-style detection with real historical and literary figures from late-Victorian London. Published by E. P. Dutton in 1976, this is the first edition of Meyer’s second Sherlock Holmes pastiche, following the enormously successful The Seven-Per-Cent Solution. The original illustrated dust jacket is a major part of the appeal, making this a particularly fun collectible for Holmes readers, mystery fans, and collectors of modern Sherlockiana.
