内容简介

The saga continues. Five years have passed since Holmes's and Watson's adventure with the Ghost of the Flying Dutchman. But now the struggle between good and evil comes to a head as a most unexpected demon from the past forces them into the Search for Excalibur. The legendary sword of King Arthur has been missing since the affair of the Dutchman, and now the daring duo must find it. For, if they fail, it will mean certain death for the lady McBride. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show is in the midst of their tour of England. And through a strange twist of fate, Annie Oakley, Frank Butler and Buffalo Bill Cody himself are swept up into the case to become Holmes's and Watson's most unlikely allies. The lovely Emily Cantaville-now Mrs. Watson-is back at Watson's side. And she, too, is drawn into the matter to help save her friend Mary McBride. The strange and somewhat mysterious Tyler Such, (the half-brother of their old nemesis James Moriarty) appears. And they have no choice but to include him in this most unusual and singular of quests. What are the mysterious monsters that stalk Hyde Park? Could there really be a werewolf of London? Can an old gypsy woman from Holmes's past shed some light on the mystery? How could the quest for the Excalibur come to shake the very foundations of time itself? Is this Holmes's and Watson's last case together? All will be revealed in, Sherlock Holmes and The Search for Excalibur. It's Holmes and Watson at their best-during the worst-as you have never known them before
