New York: Harper & Row, 1978. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Good Plus. A very young Sherlock Holmes, a member of the cast performing Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' in New York City, is invited to dinner with Theodore Roosevelt, soon to become New York City Police Commissioner, and both find themselves investigating a murder later that night in Grammercy Park. A well-received pastiche as Jeffers adds his name to list of those seeking to fill the holes in Holmes' life left blank by Conan Doyle's original stories; a remainder mark on the bottom edge of the text and a small, faded area at the base of spine, o/w boards and text are clean, tight and square; the dustjacket shows four small tears at the base of the spine (carefully tape-repaired from the inside), o/w only minimal surface and edgewear.

New York: Carroll & Graf, 2005. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. It's not surprising this "further adventure" of Sherlock Holmes is much better than the usual Holmes pastiche, as it was commissioned by the Conan Doyle estate and written by Carr, the author of several bestselling historical mysteries including "The Alienist" and "The Angel of Darkness." Summoned to the aid of Queen Victoria by Holmes' brother, Mycroft, Holmes and Watson rush to Scotland to investigate the brutal murders of a renowned architect and his foreman, who were preparing to renovate a wing of the Royal Palace of Hollyrood in Edinburgh. Enough said. Page 266 shows some slight damage to the fore edge, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square; the dustjacket is without visible flaws. A very collectable copy.

New York: Pantheon Books, 1997. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Soares first novel is this internationally-acclaimed mystery featuring Sherlock Holmes summoned from England to track down a serial killer in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro; remainder dot on top edge of text o/w a collectable copy of this author's first book.

New York: E.P. Dutton, 1975. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/About Very Good. The New York Times Book Review said "Michael Harrison knows more about Sherlock Holmes than any man alive," and Harrison demonstrates that knowledge in his fourth book on the great English fictional sleuth. Why, for instance, did Holmes remain silent about Jack The Ripper? or what did Holmes do for Vanderbilt when he visited the U.S.? Harrison also sheds new light on Holmes' youth, his university career and his relationships with British royalty. Previous owner's name and address stamped on inside front cover, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, square; the dustjacket shows wear at the spine ends and edges, with a one-inch tear on the upper edge on the fold between the front panel and flap. A little bit worn but still collectable.
