520			_a"R. Holmes & Co." by John Kendrick Bangs is a collection of humorous detective stories likely written in the late 19th century. The book introduces Raffles Holmes, the son of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, and follows his adventures as he employs a mix of intellect and dubious tactics to solve crimes, often in partnership with a narrator who seems both bemused and fascinated by Holmes's unorthodox methods. The opening of the narrative establishes a uniquely comedic tone as the narrator experiences an unbearable heatwave in New York, only to find himself drawn into the escapades of Raffles Holmes, who unexpectedly breaks into his apartment. The encounter quickly escalates as Holmes nonchalantly reveals his intentions while revealing his identity and family lineage. This initial interaction sets the stage for a series of clever plots intermingled with lighthearted banter, ultimately showcasing Raffles’s knack for turning criminal situations to his advantage while still evoking the legacy of his illustrious father. The groundwork is laid for further capers, highlighting Raffles Holmes's dual heritage of crime and detection amid witty commentary on the nature of both.
