Rent Alias Simon Hawkes: Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in New York

Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes was often heard to lament the lack of cleverness on the part of the criminal class of London. In Alias Simon Hawkes that lament is vanquished. Here are presented four of the most uniquely clever crimes of murder to ever cross Holmes' path.In 'The Adventure of the Magic Alibi' a killer is sworn by many witnesses to be in their presence at the time of a murder, and so incapable of having killed at the same time, although none of the witnesses actually saw him with them at the time. How is this possible? And how can Holmes break the strength of the magic alibi?In 'The Adventure of the Glass Room' Holmes is presented with the first ever 'locked room within a locked room' mystery, an ingenious tale that is certain to become a mystery classic. Also Alias Simon Hawkes offers us 'The Adventure of the Talking Ghost' and 'The Adventure of the Captive Forger'. Here altogether are four astoundingly clever tales of mystery and suspense that will amply display the great detective's renowned powers of observation and deduction. Sit back, read and enjoy.
