The first, <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3XYfM0x" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes & the Ripper of Whitechapel</a></i>, requires that technique, as Holmes suspects his dear friend, Dr. John Watson, of the crimes. (It also has the unique perspective of removing fascination with the villain by giving him less focus than in many other stories of Jack the Ripper; instead, the victims are treated as more important than their killer, a welcome rebalancing.) </p><p><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3F9Ahip" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes & the Singular Affair</a></i>, released last year, tackles the canon-mentioned case of the Aluminium Crutch, with assistance from Langdale Pike.

They support new Sherlockian writing and theater, with over 1,000 people benefitting since their launch.</p><p>Enjoy these stories knowing that they're in support of the mission of Free Sherlock. </p><p><br /></p>

That is, fishing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We should have been tipped off early on, as in "The <i>Gloria Scott</i>," as he notes all that Trevor's estate offered:</div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There was excellent wild-duck shooting in the fens, <i>remarkably good fishing</i>, a small but select library, taken over, as I understood, from a former occupant, and a tolerable cook, so that he would be a fastidious man who could not put in a pleasant month there. </div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And toward the end of the Canon, in "Shoscombe Old Place," we find Holmes using fishing as an excuse to get near the hall:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Is there good fishing in that part of Berkshire?”<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The honest trainer showed very clearly upon his face that he was convinced that yet another lunatic had come into his harassed life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />“Well, sir, I’ve heard there are trout in the millstream and pike in the Hall lake.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />“That’s good enough. Watson and I are famous fishermen—are we not, Watson?”</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's one thing to claim to be a good fisherman; it's quite another to prove it. Holmes knew that any disguise or alias was only as good as the proof points that supported it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Which leads us to conclude that if he were to maintain this ruse, he must have been able to produce the goods to make his fish tale a believable one.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Maybe he got his start with hooks and lines by playing hooky at Baker Street Elementary...</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
