About The Darlington Substitution: An Adventure of Sherlock Holmes
<p>The deed box of Dr. John Watson, entrusted by him over a century ago to Cox & Co. of Charing Cross, and which made its way late last year to Hugh Ashton in Kamakura, Japan, continues to yield treasure. </p> <p>The box proved to have a false bottom, under which lay the manuscript of a full-length adventure of Sherlock Holmes, in which the great detective needs all his cunning and detective powers to unravel the mysteries at Hareby Hall. </p> <p>Mentioned in passing by Dr. Watson in his account of A Scandal in Bohemia, The Darlington Substitution is a tale of deceit, treachery, and murder most foul, set in the wild Border country of northern England. Holmes and Watson encounter a centuries-old legend which tells of the future extinction of an ancient noble family, and set themselves against one of the most ingenious and fiendish villains ever to cross the path of Sherlock Holmes. </p> <p>Holmes and his faithful biographer come to life again in this case, following in the tradition already set in the three volumes of the "Deed Box" series of shorter Holmes adventures published by Inknbeans Press. These have been extremely favorably received by readers and reviewers, with one commenting, "I would have assumed that they were indeed previously undiscovered Doyle originals," and another, "The author has followed the approaches of the original Doyle stories to the extent that these could have been easily included in the original works".</p> <p>**</p>Review <p>"...a complex business, beginning with the theft of a family relic, supposedly essential to the continuation of the Darlington line, and eventually encompassing kidnap, corruption and murder. There are echoes of 'A Scandal in Bohemia', of course, and of <em>The Hound of the Baskervilles</em> and 'The Red-Headed League'. John Clay plays an important part, but is rightly kept off-stage. In any case, the female instigator of all the strife is more than a match for him. Fortunately Sherlock Holmes is more than a match for her." - <em>The District Messenger</em>, newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London</p> <p>"Hundreds of Holmes pastiches, ranging in quality from godawful to brilliant, are published every year. A few pastiche writers -- Nicholas Meyer, June Thomson and Hugh Ashton, for example -- sometimes are good enough to make you forget you're not reading the Master himself, having Watson narrate a lost but newly discovered story from some secret bank box or barrister's drawer." <em>Dallas Morning News</em></p> From the Author <p>To celebrate the discovery of <em>The Darlington Substitution</em>, Inknbeans Press and Hugh Ashton have produced a paperback edition that closely mimics the original Sherlock Holmes stories in its typography and orthography - "printed steampunk" - which should delight fans of the original Holmes stories as they peruse this latest addition to the adventures of the most famous sleuth ever to grace the pages of fiction. </p>
