Anthony Read Books Overview
The Case of the Disappearing Detective
First in a thrilling new adventure series based on references made to the ‘Baker Street Irregulars’ in the classic Sherlock Holmes novels. It is 1897, Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee year, and the Baker Street Boys are helping Sherlock Holmes solve a case involving a mysterious American when Holmes himself disappears. Only the Boys realize that he hasn’t gone undercover but has actually been kidnapped by a Fenian gang from Boston who are planning to assassinate the Queen. The Boys save the day by getting into Windsor Castle and persuading Victoria herself of the real danger she faces. Based on a series originally screened on television. An ideal series to encourage boys to read both historical and exciting.

The Boys know Mary will never be safe with Marvin on the loose, so Rosie, the little flower girl, replaces Mary on stage in an attempt to reveal Marvin’s scam.

In a race against time, the Boys dash across London and, with some help from Mary’s real father, uncover the murderers and rescue their friend.
