Sherlock Holmes, Case of the Undying Man

By John Pirillo

“The earth is about to crack open and shatter like a giant egg!” Professor Challenger roared to all who would listen.

Arthur rubbed his forehead.

Somehow, he has failed to find any further enthusiasm for his writing. The new hero he has created, Professor Challenger, is one he loves dearly, but is robbing him of strength.

Professor Challenger is a man he has created to take the place of Sherlock Holmes in his books.

But another part of Arthur wants to keep Sherlock Holmes alive as well.

He struggles with the idea night after night, even forgetting to sleep at times.

Ignoring his sweet wife.

His friends.

His health!

Then he discovers he is dying!

And on that day Arthur wakes up to what he has done with his life.

A life that he has not been lived to its fullest.

A life where he has let love diminish and fall aside, even though his loved one has remained steady in her love for him.

Arthur is presented with a way to make everything right by a stranger, who should not be in our world, but is!

A way to chart a new path, and to explore a world he has thought of for weeks now.

One he would love to exist in.

To walk alongside the heroes he has created and many others, he wished he had.

A world where magic and steampunk science both exist.

A life where he can be the friend of the world’s greatest detective...Sherlock Holmes!

The detective he’s always dreamed of and wrote about.

But to achieve that dream, he must die!

A fantastic new mystery and warm journey of the heart as a lonely writer seeks to solve the greatest mystery of life...
