More Holmes From Titan

Following the release of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie on DVD, more re-booted action from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's timeless creation is being made available by the publishers Titan with the two latest titles from their handsomely designed series The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Titan Books, 25th of June 2010, £7.99).

The titles are SÉANCE FOR A VAMPIRE by Fred Saberhagen, the first supernatural mystery of the series, written by legendary American science-fiction author Fred Saberhagen (Berserker, The Swords). THE SEVENTH BULLET by Daniel D. Victor

finds Sherlock Holmes' desire for a peaceful life in the Sussex countryside dashed when true-life muckraker and author David Graham Phillips is assassinated, leaving behind little clues as to why he was murdered. The pleas of his sister draw Holmes and Watson to the far side of the Atlantic, where a web of deceit, violence and intrigue unravels as they embark on one of their most challenging cases.
