The Case of the Baker Street Irregulars

Fergus O'Breen mysteries seriesNext:The Compleat Werewolf and Other Stories of Fantasy and Science Fiction(1969) →

When a Hollywood studio announces plans to film a Conan Doyle classic, it arouses the interest of a group of Sherlock Holmes fans. Soon, all sorts of things begin to happen—a murder with a disappearing corpse, cryptograms, a couple of cock-eyed adventurers in the best Holmes tradition and all the odd trimmings, including a Watson who's a cop, not a doctor.
