Mr. Holmes: A Slight Trick of the Mind

It is 1947, and the long-retired Sherlock Holmes lives in a remote Sussex farmhouse with his housekeeper and her young son. He tends to his bees, writes in his journal, and grapples with the diminishing powers of his mind.But in the twilight of his life, as people continue to look to him for answers, Holmes revisits a case that may provide him with answers of his own to questions he didn't even know he was asking - about life, about love, and about the limits of the mind's ability to know.

Mr Holmes is now a major film starring Ian McKellen. Previously published as A Slight Trick of The Mind.

Mitch Cullin is the author of Tideland and Branches. He lives in California's San Gabriel Valley, and as a teenager was featured in USA Today in 1984 as one of the foremost Holmes fans in the world.
