    On a particularly cold and foggy Halloween, Doctor Watson is shaken to the core by the spectral sight of a women, long thought dead, hurrying anxiously along the murky thoroughfare of Baker Street!

    Holmes and Watson immediately give chase, but the tale of this woman in white is not what either of them had expected. There are more secrets in heaven and hell…


    Paul D. Gilbert was born in 1954 and has lived in and around London throughout this time. He has been married to Jackie for 40 years and she has always shared his great passion for Sherlock Holmes! They have two sons, one of whom farms in Spain. He has been in clothing retail for most of his working life, although he is now an undertaker. He has a passion for ancient history and he enjoys music, sport and movies. His remaining ambition is to be able to write full time; he enjoys the process so much.

    Among his books: The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes (2007), The Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes (2009), Sherlock Holmes and the Giant Rat of Sumatra (2011), The Annals of Sherlock Holmes (2013) and  Sherlock Holmes and the Unholy Trinity (2015).
