Sherlock Holmes and the Hammerford Will
(2001)(A book in the Sherlock Holmes Mystery series)
A novel by John Hall
Disturbing Sherlock's peaceful retirement, Sir James Damery comes to the famed detective with an unusual plea for help.
He tells Holmes the story of the late Lord Hammerford: blessed with a fortunate life and good health, tragedy struck late in life as death fell upon his family one by one, leaving only the grandson of the great Lord as his sole heir.
Upon Hammerford's own passing, an eccentric will is found. Inside lies a fortune of half a million pounds, and the beginning of a treasure hunt to retrieve it...
With extended family stopping at nothing to claim the substantial fortune, it's up to Holmes and Watson to solve the case of the Hammerford Will.
Sherlock Holmes and the Hammerford Will is the fourth of John Hall's Sherlockian pastiches and a brilliant addition to the Holmes and Watson casebooks.
John Hall spent many years in the civil service before becoming a professional writer specialising in crime fiction. His book Death of a Collector won the Sherlock Magazine's competition for the best new fictional detective. He is also the author of several other Sherlock mysteries.
Genre: Mystery
