This longawaited second collection of pastiches of the immortal Sherlock Holmes offers eleven new adventures of Solar Pons who has been called by Vincent Starrett a clever impersonator with a twinkle in his eye which tells us that he knows he is not Sherlock Holmes and knows that we know it but that he hopes we will like him anyway for what he symbolizes Here are such fascinating stories as The Adventure of the Paralytic Mendicant an account of as unique a vengeance as was ever perpetrated between boards The Adventure of the Circular Room a tale of a diabolic plot which will rouse many a memory of the old Master the complex puzzle which will be of particular interest to bibliophiles told in the Ellery Queens Mystery Magazine Contest prizewinning The Adventure of the Six Silver Spiders the curious affair which is The Adventure of the Tottenham Werewolf and others which will bring back old longvanished Baker Street days Once again in the London of years ago the game is afoot Certainly no living writer has brought the Holmesian pastiche to a higher development than this There is very little difference indeed in the atmosphere of the stories once they have begun to unfold No 7B Praed Street readily becomes 221B Baker Street and Solar Pons attended by his Dr Lyndon Parker often becomes curiously interchangeable with the Master of Baker Street and his Watson There is no intention to deceive as Vincent Starrett wrote in his introduction to the first collection These nostalgic reminders of vanished days and nights in Baker Street are intended only to please

About this Book I am not writing new Solar Pons stories My Solar Pons material was authorised and commissioned by Arkham House Publishers Inc back in the 1970s and was written then but owing to changes at Arkham House they were never published by that imprint The tales remained in limbo for something like twenty years before the originals began to be published by Fedogan amp Bremer of Minneapolis All date from the 1970s and early 1980s so perhaps original copyright lines should have been printed together with the new publication dates which would have obviated all misunderstandings So the present volume and all the Pons tales from my pen were commissioned and authorised by the then editorial and legal personnel at Arkham House and by the estate of the late August Derleth who was a great friend of mine and very enthusiastic about my work Basil Copper CONTENTS The Editor s Note The Adventure of the Shaft of Death The Adventure of the Baffled Baron The Adventure of the Surrey Sadist The Adventure of the Missing Student

Once again in old London the game is afoot In these pastiches of the Sacred Writings written when he was nineteen and twenty August Derleth has recreated the London of Sherlock Holmes It does not matter that the familiar name has become Solar Pons or that the familiar Baker Street has become Praed Street something of the nostalgic charm and fascination of the remembered quickening of the pulse and the familiar settings of the original London of Sherlock Holmes has been recaptured in these pages And what intriguing titles there arc to these twelve pastiches chosen from among a greater number Here are The Adventure of the Frightened Baronet about a spectral image of Siva seen at a country estate beyond London The Adventure of the Purloined Periapt which is the purest of pastiches and perhaps the closest of all the tales in this book to the original spirit The Adventure of the Norcross Riddle containing some of the neatest deduction in the book The Adventure of the Man with the Broken Face a tale of dark waters and eight others No doubt writes Vincent Starrett in his Introduction we and by we I mean those frantic and incurable Sherlockians who with August Derleth deplore the paucity of canonical entertainments should rather have more of the great originals but we accept the imitations faute de mieux to satisfy a normal appetite And we accept them with enthusiasm They are the work of affectionate minds and hands There is no intention to deceive These stories and others in their field are intended only to please They are nostalgic reminders of vanished days and nights in Baker Street
