Synopsis

These seven stories previously appeared across various volumes of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories and other anthologies, and are collected here in a single edition for the first time. The cases range from an early episode in Holmes’s career, narrated while Watson is newly married, to puzzling local mysteries and accounts brought to Holmes by clients and by Mycroft’s circle.

Among them are a disappearance linked to a Whitechapel art theft, a curious pattern of visits to a village tailor, and an unsettling invitation that leads to a derelict canal-side house. Elsewhere, Holmes is asked to investigate a death dismissed as suicide, confronts a case involving a seemingly indestructible coachman and agents of Imperial Germany, and follows a trail set in motion by a fake séance. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes pastiches and short-form detective fiction.
