“Nine to seven.” “Seven to five.” [STUD]
For anyone who has first experienced Sherlock Holmes through
A Study in Scarlet, Chapter VIII is a shock to the system,
placing us squarely in the Great Akalai Plain with John and Lucy
Ferrier, and narrated by... who?
Ben Vizoskie had that same question in the 2000 BSJ article
"Who Wrote the American Chapters of A Study in Scarlet?" which was
awarded the Morley-Montgomery Award that year. Many scholars have
pondered this over the years, but Ben seems to have cracked the
code. And it's no Trifle.
