Extraordinary Correspondence

A new game is afoot . . .

Sherlock Holmes’s No. 1 fan attempts to solve a murder - and drags his reluctant flat-mate with him, in the feelgood mystery of the Summer.

Sycamore Bell is obsessed with the world’s greatest (fictional) detective, and loves his job: answering the letters that arrive addressed to his hero at his employer’s Baker Street address.

Then a young girl writes from Texas begging Sherlock Holmes to save her father from death row, and Sycamore is convinced he can help. He knows all of his hero’s techniques, and now he has a chance to put them to the test.

When the case (inevitably) goes disastrously wrong, his new flatmate, James Watson, faces a dilemma: is it really his job to rescue Sycamore, solve the murder and generally save the day?

Extraordinary Correspondence is the debut novel from Robert Hutton. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Anthony Horowitz and Robert Thorogood, and lovers of TV shows Ludwig and Detectorists.
