58 New Holmes Adventures Collected in Three Companion Volumes
In 2015, The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories burst upon the scene, featuring traditional Canonical adventures set within the correct time period, and written by many of today's leading Sherlockian authors from around the world. Those first three volumes were overwhelmingly received, and there were soon calls for additional collections. Since then, their popularity has only continued to grow. And now we present a new three-volume set. Like 2017's two-volume set, Eliminate the Impossible, and 2019's three-volume Whatever Remains . . . Must Be the Truth, "However Improbable . . . ." features tales of Holmes's encounters with seemingly impossible events - ghosts and hauntings and crimes and events that cannot have happened - but apparently did!
The fifty-eight stories in these three companion volumes represent some of the finest new Holmesian storytelling to be found, and honor the man described by Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
All royalties from this collection are being donated by the writers for the benefit of the preservation of Undershaw for special needs students, (formerly "Stepping Stones",) one of the former homes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As of June 2022, these books, through the continuing efforts of the amazing contributors and the wonderful worldwide supporters, have raised over $100,000 for the school!

A wonderful collection of canonical stories of Holmes and Watson, whose profits support sn eminently worthy cause. Special mention is deserved by The Mediobogdum Sword, by David Marcum, The Adventure of Three-card Monte, by Anisha Jagdeep, and The Adventure of the Armchair Detective, by John McNabb. Disclaimer: I am the author of His Own Hangman, which also appears in this volume.
