Sherlock Holmes in Montague Street

<p>In 1893 Dr. Watson and Conan Doyle published what they believed was the last Sherlock Holmes story “The Final Problem”. The world was stunned and <em>The Strand</em> Magazine rushed to fill the vacuum. Readers were soon introduced to a new detective <em>Martin Hewitt</em> as presented by Arthur Morrison. Although initially different than Holmes Hewitt also showed a number of interesting similarities as well. For many years Martin Hewitt has been mostly forgotten except in some Sherlockian circles where it has long been theorized that he was a young <em>Mycroft Holmes.</em> However recent evidence has come to light that Hewitt’s adventures were – in fact – cases undertaken by a young <em>Sherlock Holmes </em>when he lived in Montague Street several years before he would take up his legendary rooms in Baker Street with Watson. These volumes are <em>The Complete Martin Hewitt Stories</em> taking Arthur Morrison’s original publications and presenting them as Sherlock Holmes adventures. If you’re a fan of Holmes enjoy! And by all means seek out the original Hewitt stories and enjoy them as well. <em>The Game is afoot!</em></p>
