My own humble contribution to The Return of Sherlock Holmes is ‘The Case of the Waterguard’.
Waterguard will be my sixth Sherlock Holmes story across various anthologies, and as always it was a blast to write! There is something very exciting about being involved in the huge extended world of The Great Detective.
Being a little bit of a nerd the research can take me a while – not helped by the fact that Conan Doyle himself introduced quite a few inconsistencies into his own canon – but that can be as much a blessing as frustration.
Can’t wait to see the book in the flesh but meanwhile people can catch up with the previous volume from 2020:
The Book of Extraordinary New Sherlock Holmes Stories (which includes my story ‘The Case of the Missing Sister’ 🙂 )
