This Sherlock Holmes mystery is retold and simplified for children ages 7-13. I especially like this mystery, because Watson falls in love in a sweet and subtle little romance. Only Holmes and Watson can unravel the history of the treasure and track down the clever murderers who will do anything to steal the treasure of the Rajah. A lost Indian treasure, an old man on his deathbed, and the prisoners who seek revenge against him. ![]()
