The year is 1886. Celebrated detective Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. John Watson are called from their rooms in 221b Baker Street one morning by Inspector G. Lestrade of Scotland Yard. A young man has been found dead in his chambers at Kings, Cambridge. The cause? A single gunshot wound to the head. But with the Boat Race looming, is it self-murder or something more sinister? * * * Originally written by Dr. A. I. Jackson for broadcast on Broken Oars Podcast, 'The Mystery of the Cambridge Bow' became one of the podcast's most downloaded episodes in 2023. Having received requests for the story to be published, and having revised the original manuscript for publication, this stirring addition to the post-Doyle Holmes and Watson canon is now available as an ebook from the author's website (thelandingstage.net) or as a paperback. 'Written with an academic's eye for the details of the period, a writer's understanding of mystery and suspense forms, and an evident love for Conan Doyle's creation, Dr. Jackson's Oxford / Cambridge Boat Race mystery is a stirring and worthy addition to the post-Doyle canon.' (TSHSOL).
