This book contains five scripts, three of which I owe a great debt of gratitude to Tony Reynolds as they are adaptations of stories taken from his wonderful book of Sherlock Holmes stories 'The Lost Stories of Sherlock Holmes' - The Adventure Of The Medium, The Giant Rat of Sumatra and The Adventure of The Amazonian Explorer. As for the others, "Holmes Alone" is a light-hearted romp, that borrows elements and characters from several other Conan Doyle tales. "The Mazarin Malediction" is my attempt to embellish that oft-maligned story, "The Mazarin Stone". Almost always it's this story in particular that is singled out for harsh criticism. Yet I have always enjoyed the tale, and the others in the collection entitled "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes". "Malediction" is my homage to ACD's original, written and performed with great affection and enjoyment. To paraphrase Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I have wrought my simple plan if I brought one hour of glee to the Sherlock fan, and the Doyle devotee.

It has taken over eighty years, but at long last the British government's embargo on reporting this slice of diplomatic history has been lifted.It was in November 1940, that a senior minister at the British Foreign Office in blacked-out London commissioned Holmes and Watson to go to Berlin negotiate a prisoner of war swap with the German high-command.And the price demanded by Nazi Propaganda Minister, Joseph Göbbels, for any prisoner release? That the two work with the Berlin police to capture a serial killer who is stalking the city's railway network.But is Holmes being entirely honest with Watson about why the Foreign Office wants the pair to conduct an investigation which can only help the Nozi war-effort? And what else might Holmes's investigation of the German railway network uncover? And how can the United States be persuaded to join the war on the British side?An account of real events in London, Berlin, and Moscow in the years 1940 and 1941 which still shape the present.And the reader may feel hand of both Mycroft Holmes and Nicolo Machiavelli behind the statecraft on display.

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. 

I wrote this book because I wanted to share my love of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson with my grandchildren. I firmly believe that there is a bit of Holmes in all of us, and this coloring book will allow youngsters to see a bit of themselves in the Great Detective.Let them put Holmes in a red deerstalker and purple Inverness. Maybe London is green in their minds and hansoms are orange. The important thing is that they find as much fun coloring in this book as I had writing it. And if they share the world they create with you, aren't they really sharing their dreamsWhen it comes to the Canon, I encourage authors "to color within the lines." However, when it comes to coloring books, we never "eliminate the impossible."

While most of us discover Sherlock Holmes in our teens there are those fortunate few who encounter the Great Detective even earlier and those benighted souls who discover him later.I wrote this book because I wanted to share my love of Holmes and Watson with my grandchildren. I hope that you have that special youngster in your life, son daughter, nephew, grandchild, with whom you can share this book. I also hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

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.
