It was 1896. Dr. Watson is invited to the Dorset coast by an old friend. Much to his surprise, he persuades his friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes to accompany him. This hitherto unknown tale of Watson's involves romancing, dancing, occasional glasses of cider and an unimaginable evil, one which may spell doom for the two friends. Can they triumph? David Ruffle was born in Northamptonshire. He moved to Dorset in 2004 and lives, works and drinks the odd cider in the beautiful town of Lyme Regis.
