The long-empty Newgate prison, destined for demolition, suddenly received a long-awaited prisoner, and it is none other than Sherlock Holmes! Criminals who conspired kidnapped the great detective and imprisoned him in dark walls to put him on trial. It is easy to guess what the result of this trial will be: along a long corridor, where fifteen death row cells open, through an arch with the saying “Abandon hope, all who enter here,” the condemned person will be dragged into the courtyard where the scaffold is built... Donald Thomas is considered the best author of Sherlockiana after Arthur Conan Doyle. He combines a respectful and careful attitude towards the canon with a deep knowledge of the Victorian and Edwardian era. Thanks to his fascinating books, the number of fans of the brilliant detective is constantly growing in the world.
