Sherlock Holmes and His American Adventures (Volume 2): Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, Dr. Watson and the grand master detective found themselves in the New World. What was originally intended as a relaxing getaway for Sherlock Holmes after a recent adventure in London had left him seriously injured, quickly turned into an untenable series of criminal cases during their voyage from Southampton to New York. Holmes, driven by his professional meticulousness, and Watson, driven by his romantic inclinations, could not escape these cases. The Wall Street tycoons, unscrupulous businessmen, and corruptible police chiefs-they all wished Holmes had never vacationed on the East Coast.
