Holmes meets Poirot with a touch of Clouseau!
Eugene Valmont, is a French master detective who eventually retires from his government role and sets up a private practice in London. This collection showcases Valmont, a brilliantly ironic parody of Sherlock Holmes and the stories featuring him combine a playful humour with mystery and quasi-Gothic thrills and romantic adventure.
From the hilarious satire on the sensational fiction in The Siamese Twin of a Bomb-Thrower to the bizarre melodrama of The Ghost with the Club-Foot, Barr's stories are a delight.
This yellowback edition also includes as bonus material two parodies of Sherlock Holmes that Barr wrote.
