Klappentext
In The New Adventures of Old Sherlock, a brand-new series, Holmes and Watson return to the site of their most famous case - and discover someone is hounding the Baskervilles!'Highly amusing. Vincent revives the great detective, putting Victorian values on a collision course with modern mores' Lucien Young, author of Alice in Brexitland

Sherlock Holmes needs a holiday, so Dr Watson has taken him to Dartmoor, where they find a very changed Baskerville Hall. The gaunt, gothic mansion has gone: it's now an eco-friendly, zero-waste yoga retreat.
But trouble is (cold-)brewing beneath the solar panels. Someone is stirring up hate against the supposedly "woke" agenda at Baskerville and is sending anonymous death threats, in the form of a gun's trigger and the word 'BEWARE'! Even worse, there are reports that the slathering hell-hound on the moor has returned!
Can Holmes and Watson negotiate the heightened emotions between different social media tribes, without getting themselves permanently cancelled - or even murdered*?
*I mean looking at their track record, 'yes' is probably the answer, but it will be fun finding out!
