The Seven-Per-Cent Solution & West End Horror - John H. Watson / Nicholas Meyer | Sherlock Holmes

The Seven-Per-Cent Solution: Being a Reprint from the Reminiscences of John H. Watson, M.D. 

A 1974 novel by American writer Nicholas Meyer

It is written as a pastiche of a Sherlock Holmes adventure, and was made into a film of the same name in 1976.

Published as a "lost manuscript" of the late Dr. John H. Watson, the book recounts Holmes' recovery from cocaine addiction (with the help of Sigmund Freud) and his subsequent prevention of a European war through the unravelling of a sinister kidnapping plot.

The West End Horror: A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D. is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche novel by Nicholas Meyer, published in 1976. It takes place after two of Meyer's other Holmes pastiches, The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and The Canary Trainer, though it was published in between the two.

The plot concerns a series of strange murders in London's theatre district at the end of the 19th century. It also includes a first meeting between Holmes and Doctor Moore Agar, whose "dramatic introduction to Holmes" was one that Watson, in the original Arthur Conan Doyle story "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot", wrote that he "may some day recount."

Binding: Hard cover with dust jacket.

Book Condition: Fairly good with some age marks so not perfect. The West End Horror has more dust residue.

Edition: Hodder and Stoughton 1975 and Book Club Associates 1976
