Dick Donovanâs detective was considered a great ârivalâ to Holmes. For a time his detective stories were as popular as those of Arthur Conan Doyle. âThe Adventures of Tyler Tatlock, Private Detectiveâ is a thrilling collection of mystery and adventure tales (21 in all) including âThe Queensferry Mysteryâ in which a series of remarkable house burglaries take place during the winter months in Edinburgh. This series also includes Sherlockian titles such as âThe Sign of the Yellow Starâ, âThe Band of Threeâ and âThe Clue of the Silver Jug.â
