So when they get word that a Hollywood studio has plans to produce a tough, hard-boiled interpretation of the \u003ci\u003eGreat Detective\u003c\/i\u003e, written by an author who has expressed disdain not only the group and its members, but for the source material as well, they immediately express their concern, threatening the picture with a campaign of boycotts and smears. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRecognising the influence wielded by the group, the studio invites a selection of members to visit the set, hoping to placate their complaints. But as soon as they arrive, things start to get strange, first with a series of ominous warnings, each one referencing one of Holmes's famous cases, and soon thereafter, with murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA complex yet humourous whodunnit with fairly played clues, which provides the reader with all the information needed to solve the crime, \u003ci\u003eThe Case of the Baker Street Irregulars\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to please Sherlock Holmes fans of all stripes, and anyone who appreciates a challenging puzzle.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Boucher\u003c\/b\u003e (1911-1968) was an American author, editor, and critic, perhaps best known today as the namesake of the annual Bouchercon convention, an international meeting of mystery writers, fans, critics, and publishers.
