In the Company of Sherlock Holmes - Leslie S. Klinger

The Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were recently voted as the top mystery series of all time, and they have enthralled generations of readersand writers! Now, Laurie R. King, author of theNew York Times-bestselling Mary Russell series (in which Holmes plays a co-starring role), and Leslie S. Klinger, editor of theNew Annotated Sherlock Holmes, have assembled a stellar group of contemporary authors from a variety of genres and asked them to create new stories inspired by that 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. The resulting volume is an absolute delight for Holmes fans both new and old, with contributions from Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Dirda, Harlan Ellison, Denise Hamilton, Nancy Holder, John Lescroart, Sara Paretsky, Michael Sims, and more. The game is afootagain!

King and Klinger have not stuck to the usual suspects for this stellar anthology of sixteen new short stories that pay homage to the great detective.

Tantalizing. Enough variety for the dabbler, together with enough reverence for the canon to appeal to the true Holmes addict.

Original and intriguing. Fans of Sherlock Holmes will find plenty to appreciate in this collection.

Delightful. The tales, all exceedingly clever, are sometimes in classic Holmesian style and time period; others make only passing reference to the great detective; and some have
ingenious twists.

Great fun for anyone who loves crime fiction. The collection is diverting, delightful, and best taken with a cup of hot tea.
Hallie Ephron, bestselling author of 'Never Tell a Lie'
