The Strange Case of Mrs. Hudson's Cat

And Other Science Mysteries Solved by Sherlock Holmes

First edition

In this suspenseful volume Colin Bruce has recreated the atmosphere of the original Sherlock Holmes stories to explain the most fascinating principles of physics in a new, exciting way - through twelve completely original adventures of London's most famous fictional inhabitant. In this fast-paced collection, Sherlock Holmes, ably assisted by the faithful Watson, Professor Challenger, and other beloved Conan Doyle characters, must unravel the paradoxes and principles of classical and quantum physics in order to solve a crime, prevent an assassination, or rescue a damsel in distress.
