An Advent Calendar of Twelve All New Sherlock Holmes Adventures Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas is a collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories to be read over the holiday season (i.e. from December 1st to December 26th). Each story is divided into two sections. The first day provides the case to the reader. The second day provides the ending. You get to think like Sherlock Holmes and see if you can solve the case before reading the thrilling conclusion. Mysteries Include:
- The Adventure of the Dreadful Author - Author L.I. Whitmore has gone missing from his London home. Could his latest stories provide clues to his whereabouts?
- The Auction of the Prehistoric Beast - The location of a living dinosaur is up for auction. Could the photographic evidence prove that a monster is living in Loch Ness?
- The Christmas Ripper - A German family may have been murdered in their Spitalfields home. Could Jack the Ripper be responsible?
- The Adventure of the Gentle Axe Murderer - What could make a kind man grab an axe, attack his wife, and become a killer?
- The Bordello Endemic - Holmes must act with discretion when the dowager, Mrs. Stanwyck, and fifteen of her high class courtesans are found dead. With a number of notable clients regularly visiting the bordello, all of London's elite are under suspicion.
And many, many more traditional Sherlock Holmes adventures! The book also contains the four part story The Adventure of the Generous Miser as well as a bonus adventure by Derrick Belanger from the pages of The Strand Magazine, Dr. Watson Takes the Case. Derrick Belanger, BSI (The Board Schools), PSI (Albert, the Dove) is an award-winning author, publisher, and educator most noted for his books and lectures on Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Derrick is co-owner of the publishing company Belanger Books, which published the first eBook editions of the original Solar Pons books by August Derleth. Derrick's work has been published in The Baker Street Journal, The Sherlock Holmes Journal, The Strand Magazine, and in The Mysterious Bookshop Presents the Best Mystery Stories of the Year (2023). Derrick is a board member of Dr. Watson's Neglected Patients, the Denver-based Scion Society. In January 2020, Mr. Belanger was awarded the Susan Z. Diamond Award in recognition of outstanding efforts to introduce young people to Sherlock Holmes, and in 2024, he won the Arthur Conan Doyle Society Doylean award in fiction for his short story, The Joyce-Armstrong Confession.
