"The Adventure of the Singular Sandwich" is a detective short story by author Basil Copper. It first appeared in Copper's collection "The Uncollected Cases of Solar Pons" in 1980, but was edited in a way that Copper disapproved. Copper's preferred text was published as a chapbook in 1995 by Fedogan & Bremer in an edition of 1,000 copies of which 950 were distributed to the guests at Bouchercon where Copper was a guest of honor. The chapbook also includes an interview with Copper by R. Dixon Smith. The story is about Solar Pons, a character originally created by August Derleth. Derleth's Pons stories are themselves pastiches of the Sherlock Holmes stories of Arthur Conan Doyle.
