In a stunning follow-up to the acclaimed In the Company of Sherlock
Holmes, Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger present a brand-new
anthology of stories inspired by the Arthur Conan Doyle canon.
Echoes of Sherlock Holmes puts forth the question: What happens when
great writers/creators who are not known as Sherlock Holmes devotees
admit to being inspired by Conan Doyle stories? While some of these
talented authors are highly-regarded mystery writers, others are best
known for their work in the fields of fantasy or science fiction. All of
them, however, share a great admiration for Arthur Conan Doyle and his
greatest creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Some stories tell of Holmes himself (in Victorian Baker Street or modern
New York, in various guises or a different gender), while others explore
various Conan Doyle characters.
Although not a formal collection of new Holmes stories (though some do
fit that mold), these tales are inspired by the Conan Doyle canon. The
results are breathtaking--for long-time fans of Holmes and Watson, for
readers new to Doyle's writing, and for all readers who love exceptional
storytelling. Featuring stories by Tasha Alexander, Cory Doctorow,
Hallie Ephron, Meg Gardiner, William Kent Krueger, Jonathan Maberry,
Catriona McPherson, David Morrell, Anne Perry, Hank Phillippi Ryan, and
more.
