The West End Horror: A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D.
by Nicholas Meyer (E. P. Dutton, 1976)
Unlike so many of the wannabe Sherlock Holmes writers now unleashed upon the world, Meyer captured much of Arthur Conan Doyle’s tone and style, his pastiche cheapened only by an unseemly predilection for shoehorning Holmes and Watson into meeting famous historical personages.
