A 1979 Sherlock Holmes Pastiche, written by Loren D Estleman (some versions list Estleman as "John H. Watson, M.D."), which blends the Holmes universe with that of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Holmes is hired by attorney G.J. Utterson to look into a certain Edward Hyde on behalf of Utterson's childhood friend and client, renowned physician and scientist Dr. Henry Jekyll. Hyde, an uncouth ruffian and would-be murderer, has recently been named Jekyll's sole heir in the doctor's revised will, and the lawyer fears blackmail. It's up to Holmes, along with trusty Dr. Watson, to discover what damning secret Hyde is holding over Jekyll's head. But, of course, the connection between the two is far stranger than any of them could've guessed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Obviously, the connection between Jekyll and Hyde is pretty much a Foregone Conclusion, but nevertheless Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes is a fun romp, and it's exciting seeing the great detective's skills put to the test as he and Watson unravel the mystery. And many characters typically left out of Jekyll and Hyde adaptations (such as Utterson and his cousin Richard Enfield and the irascible Inspector Newcomen) make appearances here, indicating that Estleman really knows Stevenson's original novel inside and out. It also features cameos from many familiar faces from the Holmes canon, including Mycroft Holmes, Inspectors Gregson and Lestrade, and the Baker Street Irregulars.The book has been reprinted several times, including as part of Titan Books' Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series. Author Estleman wrote one other Holmes pastiche, Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula (also known as The Adventure of the Sanguinary Count), in which the great detective faces off against Dracula.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes / int_6a3c49f | comment |
Direct Line to the Author: Estleman posits that Stevenson's novel is a toned down, loose retelling of the real events surrounding Dr. Jekyll's death. The prologue even involves the notion that it would've been published as an official Holmes story, had Watson's manuscript not been lost. The prologue reveals that a man named Georgie Collins found it in a bombed-out house in World War II. | |
