Le Mystère Sherlock
J.M. Erre

Meiringen, Switzerland. The firefighters are clearing the rubble to get into the Baker Street Hotel. Charming and isolated, it had been cut off from the world for three days because of an avalanche. Still, no one was expecting what they found when they finally got inside: behind the blocked door, the bodies of 10 academics have been neatly placed inside the hotel’s refrigerators. They had all been invited by the eminent Professor Bobo to a conference about Sherlock Holmes. More than just a conference, at the end of it, Professor Bobo was supposed to designate one of the participants as the first holder of the Holmeseology Chair at the Sorbonne. The kind of job academics would die – or kill? – for.

The Sherlock Holmes Mystery is an ideal antidote to the doldrums. The ten Holmes lovers, like so many fans, are somewhat eccentric. Add in the fact that they are academics, like the author, and you get a caustically true portrait of that microcosm. An offbeat tribute to both Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, this locked room mystery will entertainingly lead readers to consider the impact of fiction on real life.
 
A side-splitting tribute to the power of books.
