"It may not seem much to you, Mr.Holmes. In fact, it may better gather the sympathies of Dr. Watson here. But, the truth of the matter is, someone has stolen my life." In the silence that followed this extraordinary statement, Clemens pulled out his cigar case and quietly asked, "Do y'all mind if I smoke, gentlemen?" So begins a case where visiting American author, Samuel Clemens (better known as Mark Twain), has come to Sherlock Holmes for assistance.

"It may not seem much to you, Mr.Holmes. In fact, it may better gather the sympathies of Dr. Watson here. But, the truth of the matter is, someone has stolen my life." In the silence that followed this extraordinary statement, Clemens pulled out his cigar case and quietly asked, "Do y'all mind if I smoke, gentlemen?" So begins a case where visiting American author, Samuel Clemens (better known as Mark Twain), has come to Sherlock Holmes for assistance. Holmes and Watson set out to track down the thief among a myriad of guests staying at the famous Langham Hotel. Suspects abound, yet another pressing question arises for Dr. Watson. Will one of them, a woman from his past, steal his heart? "Roger Riccard is an extremely good pastiche writer. Personally, I think the best since the late Val Andrews passed over Reichenbach." [Joel Senter, publisher of the Sherlockian E-Times]
Autorenporträt
Roger Riccard, though born and raised in the USA, has Scottish roots, which trace his lineage back to the Rose clan of the Highlands in Scotland. This British Isles ancestry encouraged his interest in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and C.S. Lewis. He is now the author of over fifty stories featuring mysteries with the 'World's First Consulting Detective'. However, once upon a time, he took up biblical studies at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL and earned certifications to teach both Old and New Testament Adult Bible Studies. In studying what one might term 'the mysteries of religion', he found that the Book of James appealed to him most as being a practical guide to living the Christian life. His admiration for C.S. Lewis' work, The Screwtape Letters, prompted him to put that concept into use for a biblical study of this New Testament letter.He is also a graduate of California State University, Northridge with Bachelor of Arts degrees in both History and Journalism. He currently resides in a suburb of Los Angeles, CA where he busies himself reading and writing mysteries and singing with a group which entertains senior citizens at retirement homes.
