Kelvin I. Jones has been writing about Sherlock Holmes for over 50 years, and studied the real-life crime, criminals and criminalistics of the late Victorians. Kelvin''s forensic approach has already made a significant impact on the Holmes aficionado, previous titles including ''The Sherlock Holmes Murder Files,'' etc. However, the first of this three volume magnum opus on Holmes and crime covers absolutely everything that the reader fresh to, or even more familiar with Holmes wants to know about the murder and mayhem of his age.And there is much more. We learn about the poisoners, the prostitutes, the garrotters, the psychopaths and the abductors; in fact the whole panoply of the dangerous criminal underworld once lorded over by Moriarty.This exhaustive study, with its grim descriptions of the savage criminals of that age, is portrayed in graphic, uncompromising detail. What also emerges is a profile of the real Conan Doyle. Here is a profile of an author who knew more than is assumed about crime; and the book includes an examination of the Ripper, plus Conan Doyle''s theories on the murderer''s identity. Profusely illustrated, with many rare illustrations from 19th Century documents. Overall, a stunning contribution to the literature about Holmes, by someone who David Marcum, the editor and author of Holmes pastiches, once described as ''a Master Sherlockian.''

Seven further stories from the pen of emerging pastiche author Stephen Herczeg. Some have appeared in the annals of the MX Series of New Sherlock Holmes stories and the Holmes anthologies of Belanger Books, along two previously unpublished adventures.A seemingly innocent concern from Lestrade about his cousin, leads Holmes back into a world left behind after the affair of The Five Orange Pips.Investigating the appearance of a body at the base of Tower Bridge, unveils a hidden cult of Satanists performing ritual sacrifices, until Holmes and the British Secret Service intervenes.Called to Scotland Yard, Holmes is re-united with an old acquaintance and dragged into a plot to undermine the Government and give its secrets to Russian spies.Retirement provides no rest for Holmes when a scout troop discovers a partially buried corpse in the forest.An old friend calls Holmes north to Hull to investigate a seemingly trivial matter of cheating, but one that may cause immense embarrassment to the heir to the throne.Strong familial ties draw Holmes and Watson to Hungary for the funeral of Baron Metzengerstein, only to find that a centuries old feud between ruling houses ignites once more resulting in death and carnage.An innocent gathering to showcase wares and food from far flung Borneo, ends with the mysterious death of the host and all evidence pointing to a native of that land.

Be it solving the identity of a man lost in time, rushing to the aid of an old acquaintance, crossing swords with an assassin in a retrofuture, or pitting his wits with a spirited young woman on a train, Sherlock Holmes will always fall back to using his intelligence and deductive reasoning.The Curious Cases of Sherlock Holmes presents over a dozen tales from the pen of Australian author Stephen Herczeg.The collection is an eclectic mix of stories drawn from the annals of the MX Series of New Sherlock Holmes stories and many of the Holmes anthologies of Belanger Books.Some are standard canonical tales true to the style of Arthur Conan Doyle, others set Holmes within the worlds of H.G. Wells, or in a steampunk London; while others pit Holmes against spies, zombies, venomous reptiles, Satanists, and gangsters. 

A ghost story becomes a matter of murder."The world is big enough for us," Sherlock Holmes once told Dr. Watson. "No ghosts need apply."But amateur sleuth Sebastian McCabe and his chronicler Jeff Cody don''t have a choice when a popular TV reality show comes to Erin, Ohio, to record a Halloween special about the entity disturbing a local gastropub known as The Speakeasy.Jackie O''Brien was a bootlegger and speakeasy owner gunned down in 1920. Ever since, his unquiet spirit has been said to haunt the building where it happened - one which, after many transformations over the years, is once again a speakeasy of sorts. There may be skeptics, but Erin''s exorcist is not among them. Nor is Sebastian McCabe, who has been up close and personal with the ghost. Both are among those interviewed by Stuart Diamond, specialist in the strange, who has come to town along with Chef Stephen Lipinski and his producer wife to record the episode of the show Dining (Way) Out. What was expected to be some fun publicity for the gastropub turns into a nightmare after someone is shot to death one night in the same place and in the same way as Jackie O''Brien almost exactly 100 years earlier. Police Chief Oscar Hummel recognizes this as Mac''s kind of case, but Mac and Jeff are forced to become virtual sleuths most of the time when the restaurant and many other businesses are shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before he solves the murder-and a second homicide-Mac makes an embarrassing blunder in one lesser case and scores a great triumph in another.

Sherlock Holmes is a Yorkshireman, born and brought up on the North York Moors, but he spent much of his life at 221B Baker Street in London. He is more than a character from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's imagination. For many thousands of followers, he still lives in their minds through films, television, stage and radio plays, and written stories. Ever since Holmes first appeared in print, people have used the stories, together with knowledge of the culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to speculate about his life. They wanted more than the 60 stories in the Canon. This speculation is known as The Game, and has included the writing of pastiches, tales which his friend Doctor Watson, and others, might have written, but never quite got around to publishing. Until now. Born and brought up in Leeds, Robert Stapleton is now retired and lives with his wife in North Yorkshire. In early 2015, David Marcum invited him to send him a story he had written, to be included in a new book of Sherlock Holmes stories, to be published by Steve Emecz, in support of the Stepping Stones school project. Over the following few years, he has written further pastiches, including some published by Derrick and Brian Belanger. A selection from all of these publications has been included in this collection. "Come, Watson, come!" cries Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Abbey Grange, "The game is afoot."

We are in London in 1890, and the British Museum plans to exhibit the contents, brought specially to London, of a newly excavated Egyptian tomb. The event is disturbed by the murder of a museum watchman. A suspect is quickly found, a young museum assistant, caught red-handed with a bloodstained knife. But things are not so simple; behind this apparently clear case Holmes uncovers, piece by piece, just as did the archaeologists, a complicated story of blackmail, violence and treachery, which, at every step, threatens him, and Watson, with deadly consequences. See how events ranging from the British Embassy in Cairo to a theatre in East London can baffle and confuse, until Holmes and Watson find the last pieces of the puzzle, and must fight for their lives.Johanna Rieke is an author and a mathematician. A lively imagination, and a love of Sherlock Holmes stories, led to her first book being published in 2011. Six books have been now published in Germany, in both print and audio form. All are meticulously researched and authentic in detail to the world of Holmes and Watson. Her works are now being translated into English for MX Publishing, in London, and this is the fourth to appear. Johanna Rieke, now a Swiss citizen, lives with her English-born Swiss husband near Basel, and she is a member of the Sherlock Holmes Society in London and the Reichenbach Irregulars in Switzerland.
