Three Sherlock Holmes tales involve the apparent misapplication of the Great Detectives methods to the supernatural, a revelation of one of Watsons unwritten cases, and a multi-genre record-breaker, an alternate history, vampire cat detective story.THE JUDGMENT OF THE GODS AND OTHER VERDICTS OF HISTORY, by Robert Reginald.Four scintillating tales of detection from ancient and medieval times.
