Being a Reprint from the Reminiscences of John H. Watson, M. D., as Edited by Nicholas Meyer

"What a splendid book, what grand fun. . . . A corking good read and a cracking good adventure that performs the delicious miracle of bringing back to life the greatest detective of them all.

First discovered and then painstakingly edited and annotated by Nicholas Meyer, The Seve-Per-Cent Solution related the astounding and previously unknown collaboration of Sigmund Freud with Sherlock Holmes, as recorded by Holmes's friend and chronicler, Dr. John H. Watson. In addition to its breathtaking account of their collaboration on a case of diabolic conspiracy in which the lives of millions hang in the balance, it reveals such matters as the real identity of the heinous professor Moriarty, the dark secret shared by Sherlock and his brother Mycroft Holmes, and the detective's true whereabouts during the Great Hiatus, when the world believed him to be dead.

"Sheer fun." —New York Daily News

"A gem. . . . Delightful reading for everyone." —Wall Street Journal

"If you read only one thriller this year, it should be this one." —Los Angeles Times
