The grieving widow of a railway worker seeks the help of Holmes and Watson after a suspected anarchist bomb explodes at Liverpool Street Station killing her husband. A further bomb is located at the station and Holmes uses the wonders of Edwardian medicine to help him defuse it. Holmes suspects the bomb to be the work of Julia Moriarty who is using the situation to hide a yet undiscovered crime. He must now use his skills to somehow entice Moriarty from her lair... but Moriarty is a shrewd foe and a train journey to Brighton ensues with tragic results. Mycroft passes on the thanks of The British Nation when Holmes saves it from acute embarrassment...but at what cost to Holmes's sanity?

About the Author

Dick Gillman is a Yorkshireman in his 70's. He retired from teaching Science in 2005 and moved from the UK to Brittany, France, in 2008 with his wife Alex, Truffle, the Black Labrador and Poppy, the cat. As well as writing, he is an accomplished digital artist and lives near the coast where the rugged landscape and the Atlantic Ocean influence his artwork. He still has strong links with the UK where he visits his two grown up children and his four grandchildren.

During his retirement he has written well over thirty Sherlock Holmes short stories, many of which are published here. Successfully publishing both e-books and paperbacks, he has also been selected to contribute many stories to the superb, World Record beating and ongoing MX Sherlock Holmes anthology. His stories appear in several volumes published by MX Publishing and also in the monthly case solving letters entitled 'Dear Mr Holmes' published by Letterjoy. More are to follow in the latest volumes by MX and Letterjoy.

Watch out for further Sherlock Holmes short stories throughout 2022 and treat yourself to his very latest seven story collection, 'Julia Moriarty - in memorium' which contains all seven stories in which Holmes crosses swords with the beautiful, but deadly, Julia Moriarty. This is available an e-book and can be found as a paperback at all major online bookstores.
