Description

The third adventure in a series of five stories which update individual tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to our modern world. Based on The Creeping Man, a pop-star is plagued by an unusual stalker whose violent outbursts and strange jumping seem to hint at mental instability. She seeks the help of Sherlock Holmes to track him down and uncover his identity. Watson welcomes any distraction from his humdrum life of domesticity and his boring job, so enthusiastically offers to assist. As long as he makes it home in time for dinner.

Acknowledgements
Thank you to Sherlockology, The Undershaw Preservation Trust and MX Publishing for including Charlie Milverton in their publication Sherlock’s Home, The Empty House.
Thank you to my husband Tim who patiently reads everything I write, also Janice and Louise who probably think I’m mad but support me anyway, and of course, the genius of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The story within this book has been inspired by an original Sherlock Holmes adventure created by Conan Doyle. I have simply updated it to 21 st century scenarios and settings. Therefore, I cannot take full credit for all the plot twists, clues and concepts the story contains, just its re-working into modern equivalents. The original story I have used is The Adventure of the Creeping Man.
