Product Description

The biggest collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle laid down his pen – nearly 200,000 words of superb fiction featuring the Great Detective by masters of historical crime, including Stephen Baxter, H. R. F. Keating, Michael Moorcock and Amy Myers. Almost all the stories here are specially written; the cases presented in the order in which Holmes solved them. The result is a new life of Sherlock Holmes, with a continuous narrative alongside the stories that identifies the ‘gaps’ in the canon and places the new and hitherto unrecorded cases in sequence. Plus an invaluable complete Holmes chronology.

Customer Reviews

Excellent collection
Some of these stories excell those of Arthur Conan Doyle himself. I like the way the volume is set out, taking the reader through Holmes's life from his early days of crime deduction, some stories tell the previously untold cases that Watson and Holmes mention in their more popular cases.

A wonderful read
I have found this a most wonderful book that is hard to put down once you start to read the stories,they nearly all capture the mood and atmosphere that Conan Doyle created with this character and is a book I would heartly recommend to any Sherlock Holmes fans.

Sherlock Holmes books
Having read the entire collection of Conal Doyles SH books I have now started to read SH books submitted by other authors/ess's and am begining to form the opinion that whilst they are of a very high quality the writers have not followed the true/accurate phraseology that SH would use, for instance, I don't recall that SH would have used the word Monograph, he would have said Monologue.An ccassional modern term that is only used in today's language has also crept in however, on the whole the book is very well writen,the stories are the type that one would expect to find in an SH book and I would not hesitate to purchase SH books
