Two of Sherlock Holmes most exciting, dangerous and
challenging adventures in one volume. In The Shadow of the Rat, a
body is found floating in the river a body that has been
deliberately infected with the plague virus. Holmes and Watson find
themselves seeking answers at The Bridge of Dreams, a club where a
persons darkest wish can be granted for a price. Holmes falls under
the control of a will stronger than his own which threatens the
life of his closest friend Watson and leaves the government -
indeed Britain itself - open to a deadly terror, the monstrous
Giant Rat of Sumatra. In The Tangled Skein, it is the autumn of
1888, and following the successful conclusion of the investigation
into the affair of the Hound of the Baskervilles, Sherlock Holmes
is faced with an even darker mystery. A strange package, an attempt
on Holmes life, murders on Hampstead Heath and a strange phantom
lady lead Holmes and Watson to return to Devon and the bleak
terrain of Dartmoor where they encounter the true embodiment of
evil, Count Dracula, the Lord of the Undead.
