The Adventure of the Manufactured Miracle

December 23, 1894. The Victorian holiday season is in full swing, and the streets of London are crowded with carolers, merry-makers, and the smell of roasted chestnuts. But it is business as usual for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who are hired to discover the source of a ewer of poisoned wassail. One man's life hangs in the balance, and another has an appointment with the hangman, unless Holmes and Watson can solve the case. In the finest tradition of ‘The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle' comes another dazzling display of both Holmes' deductive acumen and his heartfelt understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. *** This edition contains both the basic story, as well as a fully annotated version containing a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare this newly unearthed tale by Dr. John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of Sherlock Holmes.
