Synopsis
BESTSELLING AUTHORS GO HOLMES--IN AN IRRESISTIBLE NEW COLLECTION edited by award-winning Sherlockians Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger Alan Bradley. Laura Lippman. Lee Child. These are just three of eighteen superstar authors who provide fascinating, thrilling, and utterly original perspectives on Sherlock Holmes in this one-of-a-kind book. These modern masters place the sleuth in suspenseful new situations, create characters who solve Holmesian mysteries, contemplate Holmes in his later years, fill gaps in the Sherlock Holmes Canon, and reveal their own personal obsessions with the Great Detective. Thomas Perry, for example, has Dr. Watson tell his tale, in a virtuoso work of alternate history that finds President McKinley approaching the sleuth with a disturbing request; Lee Child sends an FBI agent to investigate a crime near today's Baker Street--only to get a twenty-first-century shock; Jacqueline Winspear spins a story of a plucky boy inspired by the detective to make his own deductions; and graphic artist Colin Cotterill portrays his struggle to complete this assignment in his hilarious "The Mysterious Case of the Unwritten Short Story."* In perfect tribute comes this delicious collection of twisty, clever, and enthralling studies of a timeless icon, including: "You'd Better Go In Disguise" by Alan Bradley "As To 'An Exact Knowledge of London'" by Tony Broadbent "The Men With the Twisted Lips" by S. J. Rozan "The Adventure of the Purloined Paget" by Phillip Margolin and Jerry Margolin "The Bone-Headed League" by Lee Child "The Startling Events in the Electrified City" by Thomas Perry "A Triumph of Logic" by Gayle Lynds and John Sheldon "The Last of Sheila-Locke Holmes" by Laura Lippman "The Adventure of the Concert Pianist" by Margaret Maron "The Shadow Not Cast" by Lionel Chetwynd "The Eyak Interpreter" by Dana Stabenow "The Case That Holmes Lost" by Charles Todd "The Imitator" by Jan Burke "A Spot of Detection" by Jacqueline Winspear And more! *print-version only, BESTSELLING AUTHORS GO HOLMES--IN AN IRRESISTIBLE NEW COLLECTION edited by award-winning Sherlockians Laurie R.

    This was a paperback/softcover 29 year old book I purchased in very good condition as described. However it was delivered in a plain white plastic envelope. They should have at least used a bubble pack lined shipping envelope for protection of the item inside. They should re-think their shipping & packaging strategies, especially with much much older delicate items. Other wise no problems whatsoever with seller. Recommended seller. A+

    Not for Sherlockian Purists

    Unfortunately, before purchasing, I did not see, or somehow missed, any actual description of the contents of the stories themselves. I was expecting actual Holmes tales. Some were, but not following the "canon" of the original Doyal writings. Others, about different detectives/persons (who in my opinion - for what it's worth...) missed the mark. I just couldn't stay interested.

    Again, the game is afoot!!

    I have read 3 of the 4 in this series by Laurie King. Looking forward to getting the 4th. Love Sherlock and love these stories added on to the canon.
