The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes: The Book

The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes: The Book

Michael Amadio
3.8/5 ( ratings)
The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes is a British television show, which includes two series of 13 fifty-minute episodes aired in 1971, the first, and 1973, the second.
The program presented adaptations of short mystery, suspense or crime stories featuring, as the title indicates, detectives who were literary rivals, and contemporaries, of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes took its inspiration–and title–from a number of published anthologies edited by Hugh Greene, elder brother of author Graham Greene. Hugh Greene, a former director-general of the BBC, is credited as a program creative consultant.
All the stories adapted to the show are included in this ebook, with the exception of “The Sensible Action of Lieutenant Hoist” and “Anonymous Letters” of the second series, a Danish and Austrian detective story non readily available in English.
However, this ebook includes, as a bonus, the complete book Hagar of the Pawn Shop by Fergus Humes, from which the story for Episode 12 of Series 2 was taken.
The stories are presented here in the order in which they appeared in the TV series.
