Sherlock Holmes and the Time Machine: Book #4 from the con!dential Files of John H. Watson M. D.: Book #2 from the con!dential Files of John H. Watson M. D.

Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. John Watson are no strangers to danger-but a visitors claim that they are to be the targets of an assassin is unsettling. Moreover the man says he has created a time machine that has whisked him away to the future. Astonishing! The idea is so outlandish that the great detective considers tossing the man out on the street. But theres more. The assassin will also shoot Queen Victorias son the crown prince when he steps off a train to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee Celebration. Moreover the stranger can prove his odd assertion. He returns with pictorial evidence a moving picture (a pad of sequential photos) that shows the violent deaths of Holmes and Watson over and over again in grotesque detail. With these horrible images seared into their brains the two sleuths must begin a deadly race against the clock. And if they lose the price will be more than their lives. Their failure might actually cause the empire to fall. Clearly it will take every iota of the famous inquiry agents prodigious mental powers to puzzle out an event that hasnt happened. Holmes turns to his brother for help only to learn that Mycroft Holmes might actually be behind this dastardly plot. Is it possible that Holmess own brother is a traitor to the realm?Mycroft has all the resources of the British Empire at his disposal while Holmes has only Watson and his merry band of Irregulars street urchins hes trained to work as spies. How can Holmes possibly hope to thwart his brothers superior resources? He can and he must. Sherlock Holmes and Watson must pit themselves against a foe that all men fear...Father Time.
