In this follow-up to A Study in Sherlock, Laurie R. King (author of the Mary Russell series, in which Holmes plays a co-starring role), and Leslie S. Klinger (editor of the New Annotated Sherlock Holmes) have assembled a stellar group of contemporary authors from a variety of genres and asked them to create 15 new stories inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's canon. Readers will find Holmes in times and places previously unimagined, as well as characters who have themselves been affected by the tales of Sherlock Holmes. This delightful collection includes contributions from Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Dirda, Harlan Ellison, Denise Hamilton, Nancy Holder, John Lescroart, Sara Paretsky, and Michael Sims.
