Used to be a time when Hammer and other movie studios tried to churn out authentic retellings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tales about his genius detective Sherlock Holmes and sidekick Dr. Watson. No longer. The current incarnation of Holmes on PBS has been transported to present day.Author Duke tried a hybrid approach in this short story. He takes a widely known present day phenomenon and transports it back to Holmes' original turn of the 19th century setting.It seems that an English gentleman out for a late night walk has had a most peculiar and even more distressing experience that defies any previous case Sherlock has worked on and perhaps logic as well. To complicate matters, by the time Sherlock and Watson arrive to interview the man, he is unable to answer their questions.Duke plays it tongue in cheek just enough to keep his story entertaining.RECEIVED FREE COPY TO REVIEW
