About This Item
Mysterious Press, 2018. Paperback. New. A clean crisp well preserved 2018 Mysterious Press softcover in a fine tight binding. Little to no shelf wear. Text is bright and free of marks or underlining. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. 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 she later began to spin these quintessential characters into her own acclaimed works of fiction.
The Whole Art of Detection collects the best of Faye's Holmes tales written for the Strand Magazine 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 fans of historical crime fiction.
