Mrs. Hudson and The Malabar Rose
Martin Davies
Originally published in Trade Paperback
One crimefighter has personified brilliant logical
deduction, ingenious observation skills, and an unfaltering
sense of the elementary. That man is Sherlock Holmes. Then
again, a little help never hurt anyone...
Londoners are braving a snowy December day to see the
unveiling of the Malabar Rose, a rare and remarkable ruby,
and the British debut of the Great Salmanazar. A magician
and illusionist extraordinaire, Salmanazar is the talk of
Europeespecially since his performances abroad
coincide with daring thefts of famous jewelry.
When a special representative of the Home Secretary begs
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to safeguard the Malabar
Rose, Mrs. Hudson suspects that the Great Salmanazar is
about to put something up his sleeve. Then the Malabar Rose
vanishes in a highly baffling manner. Larceny is clearly
afoot, and the formidable Mrs. Hudson must give a lesson in
criminal deduction to that most logical of minds, the great
Sherlock Holmes...
