Today’s best mystery writers feature Arthur Conan Doyle’s inimitable Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in an anthology of original holiday whodunits.

Berkley Prime Crime is proud to present More Holmes for the Holidays—in which the beloved duo returns to the scene of the crime. Includes stories by:
 
Anne Perry * Loren D. Estleman * Carolyn Wheat * Peter Lovesey * Bill Crider * Daniel Stashower * Edward Hoch * Tanith Lee * Jon Breen * L.B. Greenwood * Barbara Paul
 

“True to the spirit of Conan Doyle’s original creation . . . should please Baker Street fans.”—Publishers Weekly
 
“Clever plotting and superior imitations of Watson’s narrative voice makes this an above average anthology of new Sherlockian adventures.”—Boston Herald
 
“Each tale glows with Victorian warmth in this new round of adventures . . . a fitting sequel to the first such collection.”—Chicago Sun-Times
 
“Fans of Holmes have a holiday treat as a group of modern writers venerates the master with winning stories that Mr. Doyle would have enjoyed.”—Painted Rock Reviews
The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
