From the dust jacket flap:
Singular, capital, wonderfully enjoyable, this is the biggest collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories published since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle laid down his pen - nearly 200,000 works of superb fiction featuring the Great Detective by masters of historical crime. Almost all the stories are specifically written for the collection and the cases are presented in the order in which Holmes solved them.
The result is a life of Sherlock Holmes, with a continuous narrative alongside the stories which identifies the gaps in the canon and places the new and hitherto unrecorded cases in their correct sequence - plus there is an invaluable, complete Holmes chronology. Capital, Watson!
Among the many new cases presented here are:
Stephen Baxter,
Sherlock Holmes and H.G. Wells in 'The Adventure of the Inertial Adjustor'
L.B. Greenwood
on a strategem to stop the First World War
H.R.F. Keating
uncovers a surprisingly fallible Sherlock Holmes
Michael Moorcock,
and a sinister case of stolen silver
Amy Myers
reveals why Holmes refused a knighthood
Peter Tremayne
describes Holmes's first confrontation with Sebastian Moran
Derek Wilson
discovers the Great Detective's forgotten first case
And with cases from Peter Crowther, Edward D. Hoch, Martin Edwards, Barrie Robberts and many others.
