The Chronicles of Solar Pons

The seventh Solar Pons collection

When August Derleth died in 1971, he had finished revising all the stories for The Chronicles of Solar Pons. This, then, is the... last planned collection of the Pontine series and the ten tales presented here make for a fine and fitting exit. There is the classic flight-and-pursuit motif of the espionage thriller, 'The Adventure of the Orient Express'. 'The strangeness of 'The Adventure of the Benin Bronze' and the grim search in 'The Adventure of the Missing Tenants' are matched by the d tangled web behind 'The Adventure of the Red Leech'. A superlative collection for Holmes and Pons fans.
