In The Lost World, Edward D. Malone, a newspaper reporter for The Daily Gazette, has been assigned to write an article on the irascible Professor George Edward Challenger who has recently returned from South America with unbelievable accounts of prehistoric life on a remote, uncharted plateau deep in the heart of the Amazon. The scientific community in London believes that Challenger is a fraud, so the professor plans a new expedition to establish the veracity of his claims. He asks for volunteers to accompany him, and Malone steps forward in hopes that the perilous journey will impress the woman he loves. They will also be joined by the wealthy adventurer Lord John Roxton and the sceptical Professor Summerlee, who hopes to prove that Challenger is in fact a charlatan.

It has taken over eighty years, but at long last the British government's embargo on reporting this slice of diplomatic history has been lifted.It was in November 1940, that a senior minister at the British Foreign Office in blacked-out London commissioned Holmes and Watson to go to Berlin negotiate a prisoner of war swap with the German high-command.And the price demanded by Nazi Propaganda Minister, Joseph Göbbels, for any prisoner release?

And what else might Holmes's investigation of the German railway network uncover? And how can the United States be persuaded to join the war on the British side?An account of real events in London, Berlin, and Moscow in the years 1940 and 1941 which still shape the present.And the reader may feel hand of both Mycroft Holmes and Nicolo Machiavelli behind the statecraft on display.

Kelvin I. Jones has been writing about Sherlock Holmes for over 50 years, and studied the real-life crime, criminals and criminalistics of the late Victorians. Kelvin''s forensic approach has already made a significant impact on the Holmes aficionado, previous titles including ''The Sherlock Holmes Murder Files,'' etc. However, the first of this three volume magnum opus on Holmes and crime covers absolutely everything that the reader fresh to, or even more familiar with Holmes wants to know about the murder and mayhem of his age.And there is much more. We learn about the poisoners, the prostitutes, the garrotters, the psychopaths and the abductors; in fact the whole panoply of the dangerous criminal underworld once lorded over by Moriarty.This exhaustive study, with its grim descriptions of the savage criminals of that age, is portrayed in graphic, uncompromising detail. What also emerges is a profile of the real Conan Doyle. Here is a profile of an author who knew more than is assumed about crime; and the book includes an examination of the Ripper, plus Conan Doyle''s theories on the murderer''s identity. Profusely illustrated, with many rare illustrations from 19th Century documents. Overall, a stunning contribution to the literature about Holmes, by someone who David Marcum, the editor and author of Holmes pastiches, once described as ''a Master Sherlockian.''
