Sherlock Holmes The Great Nemesis

A Sherlock Holmes Resurgent Mystery

By: J. B. Varney

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The ring of the bell at 221B Baker Street portends evil and confronts Holmes and Watson with a case which will push them to the limits of their own humanity. It will call upon all of their abilities simply to survive.

Harry Devereaux was a devil-may-care young man until he returned to his ancestral home near Great Manchester. What he saw there drove him to the brink of madness and sent him flying straight to London and the only man who could help him.

“There was no one there Mr. Holmes, only blood!”

With those few words Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson find themselves pitted against an evil so powerful that it brings out Holmes’ true nature, that of the primeval hunter. This time there will be no police, no courts, and only one sentence. With life and death hanging in the balance, even the noble hearted Watson is compelled to deal with his own savage nature.

Evil is afoot and it is no longer a game. This time Sherlock Holmes will come face to face with his greatest nemesis, himself.

Holmes as a righteous killer…really?

This is the worst Holmes story ever. What’s come over the author Varney who used to produce such readable Holmes tales? He has Holmes and Watson planning to kill the suspect instead of handing him over to the police on the grounds that a rich famous man will escape justice because of the broken court system. They’ve never even spoke to the presumed murderer. Then they decided the son (whom they’ve also never spoken to) is an even worse mass murderer and started hunting him down. Holmes as the crazed vigilante killer ambushing his prey…really?
