What better place to go for a rest than a hotel beside the sea which offers its guests 'a restful stay, free from the cares of the workaday world'. However, soon after the arrival of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson the latter encounters a chambermaid with 'a look of mortal terror on her face'.
Upon further investigation the body of a dead man is found in one of the bedrooms, and so begins an adventure which will involve blackmail, murder, and forgery. All is definitely not what it seems for it soon transpires that the chambermaid is working undercover for the Treasury in an attempt to break up a gang of forgers who threaten to flood the country with fake 5 notes.
This case will take Holmes and Watson to the City of London where they will hear of some dubious financial dealings, and also to Dartmoor in search of the printing plates which are so good that at first sight they can even fool the great detective.
John Hall spent many years in the civil service before becoming a professional writer specialising in crime fiction.

John Hall was born in Leeds and worked for twenty-five years as an analytical chemist before embarking on a career as a writer. His stimulating Sherlock Holmes novels are written with a wonderful knowledge of his subject and are highly popular with Sherlockian enthusiasts around the world.
In this new novel, Holmes is engaged by a personal friend of King Edward VII to investigate a very curious will written by an eccentric millionaire. The will contains a series of puzzles, the solution to which will take Holmes, Watson and the reader on an unusual and eventful journey through Edwardian London.
Dr John Watson welcomed the arrival of the telephone at 221B Baker Street - it would after all, do wonders for his social life. Sherlock Holmes was not so sure feeling that the ring of the telephone bell might somehow bode no good.
It was high summer in London: Watson was tired of the heat and the crowds and set off for a couple of weeks of well deserved rest at a manor house in the country. The other guests were men of letters and the arts, educated, well travelled, men of the world like Watson himself.
Tragically one of the guests was found murdered next to the newly installed telephone, thereby interrupting Watson's holiday - and seemingly justifying all Holmes's doubts.
The murdered man had been popular. There seemed no motive for the murder. Or was there? As Holmes investigates, old scandals, old enmities, old hatreds begin to surface. Has Holmes missed something? Is it perhaps a case of mistaken identity? And who had the murdered man been trying to call on the telephone just before his death?
Sherlock Holmes and the Telephone Murder Mystery is a tale of pure detection by John Hall, the author of the bestselling novel The Travels of Sherlock Holmes. It is a classic of the genre which will delight all the friends of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
In 1993, say, the term Performance Writing, if used at all, suggested simply writing for performance. By 2011, when the author of this collection became the first Professor of Performance Writing, it had attained a much wider (indeed international) currency in discussions of contemporary writing, and had entered the curriculum of a range of courses well beyond its intense first conceptual and pedagogic development at the adventurous Dartington College of Arts. The task (and indeed the task of many of these essays) had been to fill out the terms for an approach to writing that looked beyond and beside literature for its sources, references and material practices. These other frames included: the rapid changes taking place within the technologies for producing, circulating and receiving text; a 'turn to writing' within other cultural practices, especially perhaps its integral presence within visual and sonic culture; the increasing textuality of the shared environment (words in public places, for example); and finally, philosophical preoccupations with the idea of performativity and its entailment with language.
