Synopsis

This collection gathers new Sherlock Holmes adventures written in a traditional, Canonical style and set within the correct period. Part of a three-volume companion set, it follows earlier collections including The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, Eliminate the Impossible and Whatever Remains . . . Must Be the Truth.

The volume presents stories centred on Holmes’s encounters with events that appear impossible, including ghosts, hauntings and crimes that seem not to have happened, yet apparently did. Contributions come from a wide range of Sherlockian writers, with forewords by Nicholas Rowe, Roger Johnson, Emma West, Steve Emecz and David Marcum, and a poem by Joseph W. Svec, III.
