In the Company of Sherlock Holmes
By Leslie S. Klinger & Laurie R. KingPublisher Description
In the follow-up to the nationally bestselling A Study in Sherlock, a stunning new volume of original stories from award-winning Sherlockians Laurie R. King and 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 readers—and writers!
Now, Laurie R. King, author of the New York Times-bestselling 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 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 afoot—again!

“Who doesn't want to read a book full to the brim with new Sherlock Holmes stories that starts with one involving who? Why, Harry Bosch himself. I mean that's a winning story combination in anyone's book.
Like most collections of short stories your mileage may vary somewhat in these tales. There are some stories better than others and your individual tastes will help to determine that. I was pleasantly surprised when my favorite master of the short tale, Harlan Ellison himself made an appearance between the covers of this book and was of course his usual dark and gritty self. Heck, I'd probably have recognized his writing if I didn't know it was him I'm such a fanboy.”
