Dear Sherlockians,
In 1891, fans were horrified to learn that Sherlock Holmes, along
with his arch-enemy Prof. James Moriarty, had perished at Reichenbach
Falls, Switzerland. The outrage of Holmes' fans, however, caused Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle to resurrect the world's greatest detective
in "The Empty House (The Return of Sherlock Holmes)."
Holmes describes the missing years passingly: "I traveled for
two years in Tibet ... and amused myself by visiting Lhasa and
spending some days with the head Lama. You may have read of the
remarkable explorations of a Norwegian named Sigerson, but I am sure
that it never occurred to you that you were receiving news of your
friend."
Is it possible that Holmes might have also visited India?
