Synopsis: Thirteen contemporary authors—including Narrelle M. Harris and Jody Lynn Nye—riff on the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes in this imaginative anthology. In the first Baker Street Irregulars anthology, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle&’s brilliant and beloved character appeared as a hologram, a parrot with great deductive skill, and on a reality show. Now in this second edition, thirteen more authors offer their own highly original takes on the mystery genre&’s greatest crime solver. In Keith DeCandido&’s &“Six Red Dragons,&” Sherlock is a young girl in modern New York City. In Sarah Stegall&’s &“Papyrus,&” Sherlock is a female librarian in ancient Egypt. In Daniel M. Kimmel&’s &“A Scandal in Chelm,&” Sherlock is a rabbi. Derek Beebe sends Sherlock to the moon, while Mike Strauss casts him as a comic book character. The settings of these stories range from a grade school classroom to an alien spaceship. While preserving the timeless charm and intrigue of Sherlock Holmes, these authors pen stories of the world&’s greatest detective as you&’ve never seen him before.
