Sherlock Holmes: A Year of Mystery 1887 & 1888
With the arrival of 1887, Sherlock Holmes's reputation had begun to grow. Now, in the year of the classic tales "The Reigate Squires" and "The Five Orange Pips", Holmes is becoming ever more sure of himself –– a trend that will continue as we make our way through his literary chronology. 1888 was a busy year for Holmes and Watson. If Dr. Watson is to be believed, The Sign of Four, “A Scandal in Bohemia,” and “The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor” all took place in this year (I would also argue that The Valley of Fear is set in the same year - ed.). As if all that weren’t enough, 1888 is remembered (albeit infamously) as the year that Jack the Ripper unleashed an autumn of terror on the citizens of London. While there are no Holmes vs. the Ripper stories in this volume, the authors of the later stories have all alluded to the atmosphere of terror permeating Holmes’s London at that time.

HARD BOILED CRIME AND CORRUPTION!

The Arrival of Solar Pons: Early Manuscripts and Pulp Magazine Appearances of the Sherlock Holmes of Praed Street
In the 1920’s, college student August Derleth wrote to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, asking if any more Sherlock Holmes adventures were going to be published. Upon receiving a negative reply, Derleth decided to provide some of his own. However, rather than relating more tales of Holmes and Dr. Watson, he ended up introducing the world to Solar Pons and Dr. Lyndon Parker, living in London during the 1920’s and 1930’s. Pons solved crimes using deduction and ratiocination, often referring to Holmes as “The Master” or “My illustrious predecessor.” Since his first appearance, Solar Pons has been a favorite with Sherlockians.
Now, the estate of August Derleth has authorized an anthology of Derleth’s original versions of many Solar Pons stories, as they appeared in early pulp magazines. You haven’t read these stories until you’ve read the original versions! With notes by Pons scholar Mark Wardecker, PSI, this is an anthology no Solar Pons fan can live without!

The Consultations of Sherlock Holmes
Instead of focusing on the usual mysteries in which Sherlock Holmes is the primary investigator, this volume puts a spotlight on an oft-overlooked part of his career in detection, putting the emphasis on his role as a consultant.
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.
