SHERLOCK HOLMES 2: THE BLACK RIVER EMERALD

A GAMEBOOK by renowned author Peter Ryan where YOU play the detective!

The once-exclusive Belton School for boys in Shropshire has seen better days, but theft, blackmail and attempted murder are not yet part of the curriculum! Prowl the shadows of the Belton School grounds and shadow suspects throug the crowds of London in this thrilling adventure. Prove yourself innocent of the theft of the valuable and cursed Black River Emerald as you seek the guilty party. If mystery and danger abound, can Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson be far behind?

You are the detective in this action-packed second interactive gamebook of the SHERLOCK HOLMES SOLO MYSTERIES series!

What is a gamebook, you ask? A gamebook is unlike a regular book. In a regular book, you read one chapter after another, from 1 to 2 to 3. In a gamebook, at the end of chapter 1, you have to make a decision (or roll the dice, or both); and your decision and the results of your actions determine what chapter you read on from there. In this way, a gamebook does not present you with just one fixed storyline, but splits into dozens and sometimes hundreds of different outcomes. YOU determine how the story goes on. And no two plays are the same.
