The first seven volumes were published between 2021 and 2024 containing 117 of David's Holmesian stories - and now we bring you 16 more!</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as </span><em style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known</em><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>. </span></p><p><em style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The game is afoot!</em></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>Volume VIII - Documents</strong></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>(16 Short Stories and a Poem)</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)> The Indiscriminate Paragraph</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Bellmaker's Boon</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Swapped Names of the Savior</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Debt to Jabez Wilson</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The X-Marked Boxes</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Clue of the Undamaged Stones</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>Soiled Doves</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Uncle's Cryptic Clues</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Adventure of the Flagitious Sire</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Morning Encounter with the Velocipede Racer</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Man with the Stolen Luck</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Clue of the Crested Ring</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Bishop's Painful Path</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Crofter's Curious Demise</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Curious Business at the Princess's Theatre</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>The Old Tin Dispatch Box</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>Mission (Some Sort of Sonnet) - A Poem</span></p>
