Sherlock Holmes and the Railway Maniac is a 1994 Sherlock Holmes pastiche novel by Barrie Roberts which pits Sherlock Holmes against an anarchist who is bombing trains.[1]
The story involves real life incidents such as the siege of Sidney Street.[1] [2]
The events of the novel bookend the original Doyle story His Last Bow.[3]
Eric Monahan called the book a "first rate pastiche"[2] while Roger Johnson stated that Roberts "captures the Watson-Doyle style better than most".[1]
