At the age of ten in the mid-1970's, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry.The years passed, and David collected, read, and chronologicized literally thousands of traditional Canonical Sherlockian pastiches. Then, in 2008, with time on his hands while laid off from his civil engineering job during The Great Recession, David finally found his way to Watson's Tin Dispatch Box, producing The Papers of Sherlock Holmes. These first nine short stories originally sat on a shelf in his Holmes book collection before he eventually decided to share them with others. That first collection was initially published by a small press in 2011, and then in 2013 by the world's premiere Sherlockian publisher, MX Publishing - and after that, there was no turning back.Since then, in addition to editing over 60 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian pastiche collections), David has written and published over 100 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of anthologies and magazines. Now these are being collected - along with a few others that haven't been seen before. The first five volumes were published as a set in 2021, containing 77 of David's Holmesian stories - and now we bring you 21 more, some published for the first time!Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known." The game is afoot!

Endgames! The closing moves in chess. While there are Queens and many Pawns, this book is not about the board game!Heaven very seldom intervenes directly in the affairs of mortals - animals or humans. This time it's different. Mary, Queen of Heaven has become aware of a plot to subdue two distant worlds and reduce the survivors to slaves who will then conquer the entire cosmos. The villains - General Turmoil - a sociopathic horse on animal-based Earth Alpha and the infamous Professor James Moriarty of hominid Earth Beta are moving rapidly with their dastardly plans.

In the process, Octavius, his wife Belinda and sidekick Maury Meerkat take a short jaunt to Paradise. In turn, he and Lady Juliet must convince Holmes that Moriarty is not dead and indeed engaged in the evil partnership with the General. This book is the last volume in the Glamorous Ghost and Octavius Bear series. All the previous players are on the board. Join them in their adventures!

A MAGIC TRUNK OF TROUBLE!"Perhaps by this point you already know that I have willed you all my books on magic and my magician's trunk, a kind of relic which once belonged to the Great Blackstone-Harry Blackstone, Sr. You also get the contents of the trunk. Some of those contents you can keep, some you will know how to redirect appropriately."So wrote the late Septimus Pogue to Sebastian McCabe, to whom he was a mentor in Mac's youth. The only problem is that the Blackstone trunk is missing.Thus begins the latest case for the mystery-writing professor and his best friend and brother-in-law, Thomas Jefferson Cody. Or rather, two cases-for the magician's trunk, which has a strange habit of disappearing and re-appearing again-winds up being at the center of two murders. And the second murder only occurs after the first has been solved.To get the bottom of the matter, Mac and Jeff have to sort through a collection of suspects that includes an animal channeler, an extreme saver, a bald and beautiful magician/wedding planner, a city council candidate who wants to ban electric scooters at night, a witch, and an 86-year-old former funeral home partner.And all that is before the TV show Midwest Murders comes to town-and with it a woman out of Jeff's past.This is a McCabe & Cody book unlike any other, truly a mystery in two parts.

Early one morning the curator of the Wallace Collection calls upon Sherlock Holmes requesting the Great Detective's assistance. Over the past few weeks, someone has been paying nocturnal visits to the gallery and apparently spending a great deal of time in one of the rooms devoted to medieval arms and armour. Although nothing appears to have been taken, the curator wants to know who is visting after hours and why.When Holmes inspects the room, he makes a startling discovery that sets in motion a chain of events which ends up pitting Holmes against a modern day Templar. As he follows the clues, he finds himself exploring an underground storeroom that dates from the Middle Ages and traveling to Cornwall to examine the vestiges of buildings erected by the Templars centuries earlier.All the while, he is being shadowed by an adversary who seems at least equal to Holmes - if not one step ahead. It's a cat-and-mouse game that can have only one winner; unfortunately, no one - not even Holmes - knows what the prize is.
