Book Description
Two years ago Gary Lovisi came out with his first collection of unknown stories about Sherlock Holmes in THE SECRET ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. Now, Gary adds three more tales to the canon with "The Notorious Crosby Murders," "A Study in Evil" and "The American Adventure." These reveal sides of the great detective you may not be familiar with, for instance, his obsession with blood spatter evidence almost a century before Dexter and CSI got in the act. And did you know that Holmes once visited the United States and solved a crime there? Join Gary Lovisi in his quest to regale us with ALL of the Sherlock Holmes stories -- even the ones Watson never knew about!

Book Description
In general the stories in The Secret Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.
