Book Description
Award-winning author Loren D. Estleman has curated a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories from some of the finest authors in Sons of Moriarty and More Stories of Sherlock Holmes. This is the first time that these stories appear together in one anthology, including “Sons of Moriarty,” a Sherlock Holmes novella, appearing here for the first time.
Estleman’s last Holmes collection, The Perils of Sherlock Holmes, was authorized by the Estate of Arthur Conan Doyle and was met with rave reviews. It was dubbed “an excellent collection of short stories and essays” by the New York Review of Books, “an entertaining and diverting read” by Bookpleasures.com, and was said to transport readers “to another place and time during the series of short stories that pay homage to the legend that is Sherlock Holmes” on the Pop Culture Guy Blog.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The main entree…was an original heretofore unpublished novella…. Estleman seems to always be reliable for a higher standard of pastiche…. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and would recommend it without reservation to any ardent admirer of the Great Detective.” – London Fog blog
“A worthy addition to the collections of pastiches already on shelves, though not necessarily currently on the market. If you’ve never been introduced to Fish’s or Derleth’s Holmes-and-Watson variants, this volume may be a necessity. For any mystery lover it’s useful – for budding Sherlockians, it’s the perfect gift.” – Broadway World
