"Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch-box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes has at various times to examine."

The Shadow of the Rat (1999)

Sherlockian scholar David Stuart Davies tackles the infamous Giant Rat of Sumatra in his third Holmes pastiche.

When a body is found floating in the river - a body that has been deliberately infected with the plague virus - Holmes and Watson find themselves seeking answers at The Bridge of Dreams, a club where a person's darkest wish can be granted - for a price. Holmes falls under the control of a will stronger than his own, which threatens the life of his closest friend Watson and leaves the government itself open to a deadly terror ... the monstrous Giant Rat of Sumatra!
