"Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch-box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes has at various times to examine."

The Consultations of Sherlock Holmes (2023)

A unique set of sixteen Holmes stories featuring the great detective in his self-stated role as "Consulting Detective."

For the first time ever, The Consultations of Sherlock Holmes collects sixteen ingenious cases in which he serves as a last resort for other detectives – both private investigators and those from the official police force – who come to Holmes for his unique perspective and aid as "the only unofficial consulting detective" in the world.

Thanks for spreading the word about this book. It’s hard at this point in time to find an angle on Sherlock Holmes that has not been done (countless times) already, and once the idea for this collection came to me, it was hard to believe that neither the premise nor the title had ever been used before! It was a pleasure to collect these new stories, and I am delighted at the variety of tales that I was able to assemble by a great assortment of Sherlockian authors.
