The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes
338 pages · First published 1954
Adrian Conan Doyle and John Dickson Carr create new Sherlock Holmes cases inspired by mysteries Watson mentioned but Arthur Conan Doyle never narrated in full. Holmes and Watson investigate crimes designed to evoke the atmosphere, deduction, and Victorian settings of the original canon. The stories function as deliberate pastiches rather than continuations written by Holmes’s creator. The collection is particularly appealing to readers who recognize the tantalizing references in the canonical stories and want to see later mystery writers imagine what might have happened behind those unexplained case names.
