Sherlock Holmes - The Curious Sequel of Our InvestigationNew Sherlock Holmes Adventures

by David Marcum
Sherlock Holmes - The Curious Sequel of Our Investigation: New Sherlock Holmes Adventures by David Marcum
Unrated

The Great Holmes Tapestry consists of the original sixty Canonical tales, serving as the essential defining structural fibers, and also the later traditional and Canonical adventures that fill all the spaces in between, answering questions and adding nuance and color to present the entire picture of Holmes and Watson's lives. Since 2008, David Marcum has been adding to this Tapestry, having written over 150 new Holmes adventures, and edited over 1,300 of them in dozens of Holmes anthologies - all in the traditional and Canonical manner.
Now, in this brand new collection, he presents twelve new Holmes adventures, never before published . . . .
In "The Solitary Cyclist", Watson uses the phrase ". . . the curious sequel to our investigation . . . ." It was inevitable that, in the thousands of cases successfully handled by Holmes, there would occasionally be some in which the events would continue beyond what Watson initially recorded, or that an individual from a past investigation would turn up as part of a new adventure. In 1928, Watson selected a dozen of these stories for publication, all being connected one way or another to past Canonical tales . . . but that book was never published. Now, after nearly one-hundred years, those twelve narratives can finally be revealed.

David Marcum

"Marcum could be today's greatest Sherlockian writer, . . . ." Lee Child - New York Times Bestselling Author

"David Marcum is the reigning monarch of all things Sherlockian . . . ." John Lescroart - New York Times Bestselling Author

"Among the best I must number David Marcum, who, by this point has written more Holmes stories than Doyle himself. Characterised by unflagging imagination and ceaseless ingenuity, along with felicitous prose, these tales continue to provide what we all crave: more Sherlock." - Nicholas Meyer - New York Times Bestselling Author

"Marcum himself again demonstrates his gift for emulating the feel of The Canon . . . ." - Publishers Weekly

David Marcum plays The Game with deadly seriousness. He first discovered Sherlock Holmes in 1975 at the age of ten, and since that time, he has collected, read, and chronologicised literally thousands of traditional Holmes pastiches in the form of novels, short stories, radio and television episodes, movies and scripts, comics, fan-fiction, and unpublished manuscripts.

He has edited over sixty books, most Sherlockian-related anthologies, and is the author of nearly 90 Sherlockian pastiches (so far), some published in anthologies and others collected in his own books, "The Papers of Sherlock Holmes", "Sherlock Holmes and A Quantity of Debt", and "Sherlock Holmes – Tangled Skeins". He has edited over 800 Holmes pastiches and over sixty books, including several dozen traditional Sherlockian anthologies, including the ongoing series "The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories", which he created in 2015. This collection is now up to 30 volumes, with several more in preparation.

He was responsible for bringing back August Derleth’s Solar Pons for a new generation, first with his collection of authorised Pons stories, "The Papers of Solar Pons", and then by editing the reissued authorised versions of the original Pons books. He is now doing the same for the adventures of Dr. Thorndyke.

Since the age of nineteen, he has worn a deerstalker as his regular-and-only hat from autumn to spring, and often summer as well. In 2013, he and his deerstalker were finally able make his first trip-of-a-lifetime Holmes Pilgrimage to England, with return Pilgrimages in 2015 and 2016, where you may have spotted him. If you ever run into him and his deerstalker out and about, feel free to say hello!
