The Adventure of the Shoscombe Pale Horse: A New Sherlock Holmes Mystery #60 (New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries) Kindle Edition
Dr. Watson does not believe her, but Holmes does and asks her to take him to the corpse. She leads the two of them to a place where unspeakable evil is present.
What Sherlock Holmes learns there leads him to the hills of Berkshire and the ghostly white chalk horse that the superstitious people of the town believe is the Pale Horse of Death from the Book of Revelation.
Another local resident dies, and Holmes connects the dots. They lead directly to the great horse race at the Derby and the millions of pounds that are at stake. Or do they?
This 60th New Sherlock Holmes Mystery is a tribute to The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place and will be an enjoyable read for fans of the canonical Sherlock Holmes … and those who love the sport of kings. Pre-order to get the new book at a discount along with a free bonus mystery.

About the author

Dear fellow lovers of historical mysteries: It's elementary, my dear reader. What else, after reaching the age of joyful retirement is a refined gentleman to do with his time but write more stories about Sherlock Holmes or the fascinating world of New York City between the wars?
Craig Stephen Copland confesses that he discovered Sherlock Holmes when, some time in the muddled early 1960s he pinched his older brother's copy of the immortal stories and was forever afterward thoroughly hooked. He first visited New York City in the summer of 1963 and was forever afterward thoroughly hooked.
He is very grateful to his high school English teachers at Scarlet Heights Collegiate Institute in Toronto who inculcated in him a love of literature and writing, and even inspired him to be an English major at the University of Toronto. There he was blessed to sit at the feet of both Northrup Frye and Marshall McLuhan, and other great literary professors, who led him to believe that he was called to be a high school English teacher.
It was his good fortune to come to his pecuniary senses, abandon that goal and pursue a varied professional career that took him to over one hundred countries and endless adventures. He considers himself to have been and to continue to be one of the luckiest men on God's good earth.
A few years back he took a step in the direction of Sherlockian studies and joined the Sherlock Holmes Society of Canada--also known as the Toronto Bootmakers. In May of 2014, this esteemed group of scholars announced a contest for the writing of a new Sherlock Holmes mystery. Although he had never tried his hand at fiction before, Craig entered and was pleasantly surprised to be selected as one of the winners. Having enjoyed the experience he decided to write more of the same and went on a mission to write a new Sherlock Holmes mystery novel that was related to and inspired by each of the sixty stories in the original Canon.
Having competed that task—sixty short novels and twenty short stories—in the autumn of2023, he set out on a new quest. He is currently writing a series of mystery/thriller books set in New York City during the era between World Wars One and Two. Each story takes place in a subsequent year. The series began in 1920 and will end in 1941.
While writing these stories, he and his fabulous wife have been living in Toronto, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, New York, Bahrain, Kuala Lumpur and the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. They might settle down when he turns ninety. Or not.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2023I've read and loved all the Copeland-Sherlock mysteries: I'm a fan. To those who enjoy a long series, you'll be well served and will get to love Watson and Holmes anew. To those who enjoy the original: this is so much fun, guaranteed to renew your desire to read more. There are 60 stories in this series. Sit back, grab a cup of tea (or something stronger) and get reading! I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023I have read every single one of Mr. Copland stories. And I love this one the most. This time Sherlock kept me on my toes. Thank you for all the adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another tour de force
Two good stories. The Pale Horse very much of Holmes genre. Good thinking to include the original ACD tale as I doubt many people carry the entire Holmes set in their brain. The second was rather more contrived, but a good read showing that attitudes to women’s morality have little changed. Really enjoyed this set of stories (still have a number to read) and looking forward to non-Holmes in similar genre
