Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini

Sir Arthur, in his later life, was a staunch advocate of Spiritualism, while Houdini devoted his efforts to unmasking unscrupulous mediums and spirit guides. Nonetheless, Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were great friends.

Both of these rich and real historical characters are found in the latest addition to the Doyle canon: Sherlock Holmes-The Golden Years.  In The Cure that Kills, Houdini meets Holmes and Watson aboard ship as they steam to America in pursuit of the diabolical Ciarán Malastier. Later, in The Kongo Nkisi Spirit Train, Sherlock meets Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at a séance in which Holmes subtly unmasks a “mostly fraudulent” medium called Margery.

You can read these tales, and three others, in Sherlock Holmes-The Golden Years – available on Amazon and MX Publishing.
