The Adventure of the Philandering Philanthropists Craig Stephen Copland

THE ADVENTURE OF THE PHILANDERING PHILANTHROPISTS. (N. B. This story is a revised edition of a previous story published under the name of The Treacherous Trust. If you have already read that story, don't bother with this one but choose another New Sherlock Holmes Mystery instead.) A beautiful young woman falls from the roof terrace of an estate home and dies. Nobody can believe that her death is anything but a tragic accident. Nobody, that is, except her sister, Miss Violet Westbury. A year earlier, Violet's fiancé, Cadogan West, was murdered and his body dumped on top of a railway carriage. Now tragedy strikes her life again. She appeals to Sherlock Holmes. What was her sister doing at that home? Violet tells Holmes that her sister had attracted the attention of a wealthy, older gentleman. He insisted that she join the board of directors of a popular charity, run by his son. A meeting of the directors was held at the family estate. She attended and quarreled with the son. An hour later, she fells. Together with Dr. Watson, Holmes must try to discern what happened and bring the criminals to justice. The story travels all the way to Calcutta and back to St. James Square, and the villains almost get away with their vile crime ... almost. Click now, buy/download and enjoy MORE SHERLOCK.
