Description: Eleven new investigations. Eleven moments where certainty fails.
A Deptford film crew records something they were never meant to see. A well-dressed widow insists her late husband's visitor was not the man he claimed to be. A circus aerialist vanishes mid-performance, leaving only a rope and a mystery. A Kent hop farmer asks Holmes to investigate his estate manager - and Holmes finds himself, for once, outplayed.
From a railway concourse in the rain to the backstreets of Pimlico, from the docks at Harwich to a river foreshore at Rotherhithe, Dr. Watson chronicles cases in which Holmes is as sharp as ever - but the world proves more complicated than deduction alone can resolve. Some truths arrive too late. Others are better left undiscovered.
These are stories about what it costs to see clearly, and what remains when the case is closed but the wound is not.
The Blind Spots of Sherlock Holmes is the third volume in The Sherlock Holmes Casebooks - a series of original short story collections in the tradition of Arthur Conan Doyle, set in late Victorian London.
Also in the series: The Conscience of Sherlock Holmes and The Darker Reaches of Sherlock Holmes.
