Solar Pons draws thoughtfully at his pipe, his keen eyes fixed on the door to his quarters at No. 78 Praed Street. In a moment a visitor will arrive-once again setting the game afoot. When August Derleth inherited the mantle of Arthur Conan Doyle, he created in Solar Pons a detective whose genius cannot be matched-perhaps not even by Holmes himself. In these ten superbly crafted adventures, Solar Pons's deductive cunning slices through the tangles of the most bizarre episodes in his career. The tradition of deduction at its very best.
