The Adventure of the Stalwart Companions
Magnum, London, 1981
dedication:
This book is dedicated to three stalwart companions: Gary, Rose Ann and Sid
The blurb on the back:
Here, unearthed from the old records in the basement of the New York Police Department's headquarters, is perhaps one of the most exciting and unusual chronicles of the world's most celebrated detectives - Sherlock Holmes. But it is written not by Dr Watson - but by Theodore Roosevelt, destined to become President of the United States.
Badly written, pointlessly plotted and utterly, utterly unnecessary. Apart from that, there are no redeeming features: it's just a fifth-rate historical crime novel hijacking Holmes because otherwise it wouldn't have got published.
