Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes makes his American debut in this fascinating and extraordinary collection of never-before-published crime and mystery stories by bestselling American writers. The world's greatest detective and his famous sidekick Watson are on their first trip across the Atlantic as they fight crime all over nineteenth-century North America. From the bustling neighbourhoods of New York City and Washington, D.C., to sunny yet sinister cities like San Francisco on the West Coast, the world's best-loved sleuth will face some of the most cunning criminals America has to offer, and meet some of America's most famous figures along the way.
Each original story is written in the extraordinary tradition of Doyle's best work, yet each comes with a unique American twist that is sure to satisfy and exhilarate both Sherlock Holmes purists and those who always wished that Holmes could nab the nefarious closer to home.
This is a must-read for any mystery fan and for those who have followed Holmes' illustrious career over the waterfall and back again.

Review
The stories, by such well-known writers as Loren Estleman, Matthew Pearl, Bill Crider, and Jon Breen, are uniformly very good, with occasional flashes of genius. And, best of all, they aren't pastiches or painfully faithful re-creations of Conan Doyle's writing style - each is told in the writer's own voice but still captures the spirit of the Holmes stories. A thoroughly entertaining collection. (Booklist)
