THE HOLMES-DRACULA FILE
Crime Makes Strange Partnerships – And none stranger than that
between Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula.
Holmes confronts a pair of impossible problems: a ring of criminal
masterminds threatening to loose thousands of plague infested rats
into the streets of London and a bizarre killer who leaves a trail of
bloodless corpses... and no other clues...
Dracula holds the key to both mysteries. Returned to London on a
personal matter, the Count is quickly entangled in a web of evil that
even his undead powers may not be enough to breach.
Here are the secrets of THE HOLMES-DRACULA FILE.
* * *
In a matter of only a few seconds, the man who faced us had
himself in hand. I had been on the point of stepping forward to do
what I could for his wounded arm, from which the blood had at first
freely flowed. But his whole pose was unmistakably one of menace
rather than defeat, and the blood-flow ceased almost as abruptly as
it had begun, so that I judged it wiser, for the moment at least to
hold my place.
But when the terrible figure spoke of Holmes, it was almost as
calmly as before.
"May I congratulate you on thinking of wooden bullets? I had begun
to believe all Englishmen were fools."
