New and Different Sherlock Holmes Thriller on Amazon

FERNDALE, Mich. - June 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Conan Doyle's classic  Hound of the Baskervilles is a favorite among Sherlock Holmes fans; now though, it's a modern best-selling thriller by Amazon ebook author Demetrius Sherman.

The Dogs of Devonshire is the second short story in the Sheridan Hope thrillers series. In the story, something unknown has viciously murdered a wealthy young woman and Sheridan Hope, the modern Sherlock Holmes, must face it.

Sheridan Hope has been described as the greatest crime detective to come out of Great Britain. His Nigerian heritage combined with a nose for scams, blackmailers, deceit and cover ups enable Sheridan to delve into the back alleys of England, where a black man in a trench coat goes unnoticed...until the criminals get caught.

Although the author made changes to Conan Doyle's great detective, Sheridan Hope is Sherlock Holmes. Like Sherlock Holmes, Sheridan Hope knows martial arts, and like Holmes, Sheridan Hope has a loyal doctor friend. And, as they were with Sherlock Holmes, the cases of Sheridan Hope are short stories.

“I made changes, but Sheridan Hope has the personality of Sherlock Holmes,” says author Demetrius Sherman. “And my Watson is still a kind doctor.”

Reviewing The Dogs of Devonshire, Mike Hogan, British author of many Sherlock Homes books, said the thriller contains “an interesting and unique modern Sherlockian character with a strong story,” and reviewer Ruty Benitez said " it’s scarier than some movies.”
