Award-winning editors Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger have gathered acclaimed writers from multiple genres to craft original tales inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories. This collection follows their national bestseller "A Study in Sherlock" and features contributions from Michael Connelly, Cory Doctorow, Sara Paretsky, John Lescroart, Lev Grossman, Harlan Ellison, and others. The stories transport Holmes to previously unexplored settings and eras while also examining characters whose lives have been shaped by the famous detective's adventures. King brings her expertise as author of the bestselling Mary Russell series, where Holmes serves as a central figure, while Klinger contributes his Edgar Award-winning editorial skills from "The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes." These contemporary writers draw from Doyle's canon, which readers recently selected as the greatest mystery series ever written, to create fresh interpretations that honor the enduring appeal of the world's most famous consulting detective.
