The Illustrious Client

The entire series of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle is now available in large print, using the best practices for senior readers and those who are visually impaired. Each story includes the original Sherlock Holmes mystery as well as a note from the series editor, Craig Stephen Copland, the author of the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries books. An Illustrious Client, a very highly-placed member of the aristocracy, enters 221B asking help from Sherlock Holmes. But he is not acting for himself. He is only a spokesman for the most illustrious client in the country. They need Holmes's aid to persuade a young, beautiful but head-strong noblewoman not to marry a notorious cad. Holmes tries and at first fails. Then he enlists the help of another woman who most likely was the cad's prostitute. The ending is unexpected, horrible, and quite satisfying. These books are great gifts for someone you care about who needs a larger size print to be able to enjoy these wonderful stories.
