A Slight Trick of the Mind: A Novel

It is 1947, and the long-retired Holmes lives with a housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Holmes has settled into the routine of tending his apiary, writing in journals, and grappling with the diminishing powers of his razor-sharp mind, when Roger comes upon a case hitherto unknown. It is that of a Mrs. Keller, the long-ago object of Holmes's deep infatuation.
