Stephen Worth is a former detective, now a screenwriter, who was commissioned by Metropolis Studio to write the script for The Motley Ribbon, an adaptation of Conan Doyle's short story of the same name. But Worth doesn't like Conan Doyle, and he despises fans of his work altogether. Namely, such people are invited by the studio producer to the set as consultants — the so-called Irregular squads from Baker Street, studying the detective methods of Sherlock Holmes. Before filming, an introduction party is organized for the whole company, which ends in tragedy - Stephen Worth is found dead in one of the rooms. The police have a difficult investigation ahead, because Worth had anything but friendly relations with almost everyone here. . The novel "The Case of the Baker Street Irregulars" by Anthony Boucher is a fascinating classic detective story that plays out the universe of Sherlock Holmes. Anthony Boucher (1911-1968) was an American writer, translator and editor, the author of dozens of works in the genres of detective, mystery and science fiction. For more than ten years, he was the editor of the cult magazine Fantasy and Science Fiction. His novel "Nine by Nine" is one of the best examples of the genre of "crimes in a locked room." – At the center of the story is the story of screenwriter Stephen Worth, who was commissioned to write an adaptation of Conan Doyle's "The Motley Ribbon" for the Metropolis Studio. The irony is that Worth can't stand Doyle's work and despises his fans— and it's their producer who invites them as consultants. An introduction party before filming turns into a tragedy: Worth is found dead. – Each of the suspects has a difficult relationship with the victim, which complicates the search for the perpetrator. The novel successfully combines detective intrigue, irony and references to the classics of the genre. – A hardcover edition with atmospheric illustrations, included in the Classic Detective series, a collection of outstanding works of the genre.
