SHERLOCK HOLMES ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD
The "TRUE" first sequel to H. Rider Haggard's She "I did enjoy the book. . . . [T]he solving of the crime by Holmes-Sigerson was true Canon indeed. A pleasure . . . ." John Bennett Shaw, Sept. 10, 1988 "I found Miller's knowledge of Tibet and Buddhism fascinating. Miller writes a fine story, in what is obviously a labor of love. A must book to obtain . . . . [W]ith a nice cover illustration . . . sure to be a prized collectable." Gary Lovisi in Sherlock Holmes: The Great Dectective in Paperback, 1990

In 1987, in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of the world's first Sherlock Holmes story, Rosemill House Publishers issued a 600-copy limited edition of Thos. Kent Miller's Sherlock Holmes on the Roof of the World: or, The Adventure of the Wayfaring God -- in which Holmes encounters the mysterioua Issa.
Sherlock Holmes on the Roof of the World is one of the rare stories to come to light involving "Sigerson," the name Sherlock Holmes went by during the years when the world thought he was dead -- his Great Hiatus!
Besides this extraordinary claim to fame, this story also has the distinction of being the true first sequel to Horace Holly's She, which was published in 1887 under the byline of Holly's agent, H. Rider Haggard. The only heretofore known sequel, Ayesha: The Return of She, was published in 1904 and records events that occurred almost two decades after She. This new tale, then, is a record of events that occurred between the previously published adventures . . .
In the years since 1987, this 80-page trade paperback book has become a sought-after collector's item.
In 1990, portions of this novel were rewritten, typos fixed, passages made clearer, etc., and it was printed again -- also in a limited First Edition, Second (corrected) Printing, which was also a trade paperback. It too has become a collector's item.
A small quantity of these two editions (autographed by the author) are now being made available at extremely reasonable prices by Rosemill House and the author.FIRST EDITION, Second (CORRECTED) Printing: $15.00
FIRST EDITION: $55.00

Recently "found" amongst some obscure papers of (surprisingly) H.P. Lovecraft, this new manuscript chronicles a complex and mysterious quest by Allan Quatermain deep into the deserts of Ethiopia in 1872 accompanied by his man-servant Hans and a host of the nineteenth century's most prodigious luminaries -- among them explorer and linguist Sir Richard Burton, astronomer Maria Mitchell, and volcanologist Axel Lindenbrock.
And, and of course, along the way, Quatermain crosses paths with -- not one but two of the greatest detectives of his era!
THE GREAT DETECTIVE AT THE CRUCIBLE OF LIFE is available in hardcover and trade paperback at Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, the publisher WildsidePress.com, and most other online bookstores.
