For over a hundred years, it was thought that these tales represented the true and unadulterated record of Holmes's triumphs. Then, in 2010, a collection of notebooks was discovered containing earlier drafts of these same stories, written in Dr. Watson's own hand. These offer a tantalizing glimpse of the true facts behind eleven cases. Seven of the talks appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, four others appear here for the first time.

About the author
Terence Faherty
62 books37 followersTerence Faherty (1954-) is an American author of mystery novels.
My name is Terence Faherty. I'm a storyteller whose stories most often take the form of mysteries. (A critic once noted, cryptically but correctly, that all my stories are mysteries, even the ones that aren't.) I do see basic storytelling and mystery solving as linked, because in so many stories the protagonist is trying to answer a question or right a wrong. This is why I see the mystery and especially the private eye story as a particularly straightforward form of storytelling: a problem is posed and a hero sets out to resolve it. (At least, it would be straightforward if all clients were forthcoming and truthful.)
I've written two series in book form. The Owen Keane series follows the bumpy life of a failed seminarian turned amateur sleuth (a job title I love). It's been nominated twice for the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award and once for the Anthony Award and it's won a Macavity Award from Mystery Readers International. The Scott Elliott series is set in old Hollywood during its decline and fall. Elliott, an operative for a shady security company, tries to slow that decline and fall in his own small way. Elliott has been nominated for three Shamus Awards from the Private Eye Writers of America and taken home two.
