The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes -- Lyndsay Faye

<b>"One of the best examples of Sherlock Holmes pastiche] that this die-hard Sherlockian has encountered . . . Faye perfectly captures the tone and spirit of the Conan Doyle originals."--Adam Woog, <i>Seattle Times</i></b><p>Internationally bestselling author Lyndsay Faye has been enamored with the tales of Holmes and Watson ever since she was introduced to "The Adventure of the Speckled Band"--and later began to spin these quintessential characters into her own acclaimed works of fiction. <i>The Whole Art of Detection</i> collects the best of her Holmes tales written for the <i>Strand Magazine</i> and other publications, plus two new works. These fifteen brilliant stories span Holmes's career, from self-taught young upstart to lauded detective, both before and after his faked death over a Swiss waterfall in 1894. With Holmes and Watson encountering all manner of "scientific" spiritualists, poisoned wives, cunning relatives, plaid-garbed villains, and even a corpse horribly drained of all blood, this is a must-read for Sherlockians and any fan of historical crime fiction.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Lyndsay Faye<br><b>Publisher:</b> Mysterious Press<br><b>Published:</b> 03/06/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780802127600<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Lyndsay Faye</b> is the author of five critically acclaimed books, including <i>The Gods of Gotham</i> and <i>Jane Stee
