One of the most famous incidents mentioned in Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories as having taken place "off the page", as it were, is that of "the giant rat of Sumatra, a story for which the world is not yet prepared", mentioned in The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire. This is the second full length novelisation I have read based on this throw away line, and it was much better I thought than Paul D Gilbert's interpretation. This one has a thick atmosphere of dread as the foul scheme of Baroness Emmuska Dubeyk to spread bubonic plague through London emerges and her hypnotic powers are used effectively against the Great Detective himself to secure his temporary and unwilling support for her dreadful cause. My only issue was with the conclusion, where I thought the Baroness and her dread creatures were defeated rather too easily through the course of nature, and without Holmes's direct intercession, which felt a bit of a cop out.
