Description: Detective Inspector G. Lestrade, or Mr. Lestrade, is a fictional character appearing in several of the Sherlock Holmes stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Lestrade's first appearance was in the first Sherlock Holmes story, the novel A Study in Scarlet, which was published in 1887. Brigade : Further Adventures of Inspector Lestrade - SIGNED M.J. Trow 1986 After the exploits related in The Adventures of Inspector Lestrade there is a new broom at Scotland Yard: Nimrod Frost. His first little job' for Lestrade is to investigate the reported appearance of a lion in Cornwall, a supposed savager of sheep and frightener of men. Hardly a task for an Inspector of the Criminal Investigations Department. Yet even as Lestrade questions a witness a man is reported dead, horrifically mauled. Having solved that case to his own satisfaction, Lestrade returns to London and to another suspicious death and then another. ... All old men who should have died quietly in their sleep: is there a connection - is there another mass murderer at work? Lestrade's superiors, especially Nimrod Frost, discount his speculations and he finds himself suspended from duty, but that is a mere technicality to the doughty Lestrade. He moves from workhouse to royal palace, from back stage at the Lyceum to regimental dinner in his search for clues and enlightenment. Once again M. J. Trow presents his readers with a true puzzle, a cast of larger-than-life characters and a surprise denouement. A treasure of entertainment.
