Sherlock Holmes and the Princess Jewel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466418196)

THE STORY: The world's greatest detective reaches out in an all-new adventure to solve a 200-year old secret in one of the most important cases of his remarkable career that is too tempting to ignore. A simple robbery, a bookmark, an unusual painting with a remarkable history, and then the matter of National Security turn the investigators wits on end. With his trusted long time companion, Doctor Watson at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues the "code" that seemingly leads nowhere in the case, then to the unexpected piece of evidence and the attraction to a Miss Charlotte Appleton whose resemblance jogs his memory. All and in doing so, marches right into the trap of an adversary only visible to the underworld of crime, that malevolent genius, Professor Robert Moriarty. In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, John DeGaetano, theatrical Director and Actor from the San Francisco Bay Area, presents Holmes at the height of his powers. Holmes experiences the value of his enduring friendship with Doctor Watson while surrounded by all the elements that fans of his exploits have come to expect: danger, intrigue, wit, a bit of humor and of course... surprise. Said Holmes, "I do not welcome it Watson, however danger is part of our trade."Check out more plays available from the author; The Fat Man, Siituation in Safe Haven, Average Joe and Once Upon a Crime.
