  Five new pastiche stories of the world's greatest detective. These stories are shorter than the other novellas in the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries set and were published earlier in either the MX Books or Belanger Books anthologies of Sherlock Holmes stories (Edited by David Marcum). 'The Singular Tragedy of the Atkinson Brothers at Trincomalee' is one of the unpublished cases we hear about in The Canon. The story Takes Holmes and Watson to the tropical island of Ceylon on behalf of the Foreign Office to investigate the murder of one of the Atkinson brothers and sends Holmes into a nasty web of deceit, murder, and perversion in the heat of the colonies. In 'The Barrel of Lagavulin' the adventures of Sherlock Holmes meet up with characters from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and we learn what happens long after the horrendous events recorded in 'The Cask of Amontillado.' Did you ever wonder what happened to the characters from the Vermissa Valley that you read about in 'The Valley of Fear?" In 'The Fear of Retribution' you will find out, and it is not pleasant. 'The Adventure of the Winchester Heart-Breaker' takes Holmes and Watson back to the Copper Beeches and to what happened to the nasty child who loved to go 'smack, smack, smack' on the cockroaches. 'The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds' is a completely new Sherlock Holmes mystery in which Holmes needs to stop a cycle of revenge killings that began years earlier in the tea gardens of Darjeeling. If you love the stories of Sherlock Holmes, these five new mysteries will appeal to you

  Life begins at 40—but so do bad joints, wrinkles, and gray hairs. 
   
   
   
  They say that by the age of forty you should have gained the skills and experience to have a better life. 
   
   
   
  But the only thing I've gained is a job promotion to permanent desk jockey until retirement. I thought I escaped my mediocre destiny when I met my husband . . . until he died on our honeymoon and a series of unfortunate events left me with a strange mark on my body and my husband's corpse stolen right out of the funeral home! 
   
   
   
  When I discover a mysterious invitation to a place called the Vale Estates at my door from a long-lost grandmother I had never met. I was ready to toss it away as a scam until I read the words: Your husband's death was not an accident. Desperate for answers, I pack up and go. 
   
   
   
  But to discover the truth, I'm forced to live in a bizarre estate full of restless ghosts and a creepy goat-legged caretaker while enduring a trial of magic with death as a punishment for failure. 
   
   
   
  But I'm not a mage! Or at least, I thought. 
   
   
   
  I guess it’s not too late to learn something new.

  The "Gloria Scott" - Sherlock...

  "The Gloria Scott", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It is chronologically the earliest case in Sherlock Holmes canon. This story is related mainly by Holmes rather than Watson, and is the first case to which Holmes applied his powers of deduction, having treated it as a mere hobby until this time. This is one of the two Sherlock Holmes stories in which a protagonist is haunted by an old acquaintance for an old crime. The other is "The Boscombe Valley Mystery". It is also one of his many stories that deal with the fate of characters who return to England after having spent time abroad in the colonies of the British Empire.
  In his university days, Holmes spent a month with his friend, Victor Trevor, at Victor's father's estate in Norfolk. While there, Holmes amazed his host, Victor's father, who was a Justice of the Peace and a landowner. He had made his fortune in the goldfields in Australia. One of Holmes's deductions was that the elder Mr. Trevor was once connected with someone with the initials "J. A." whom he wanted to forget. His host then passed out on the table. Holmes had touched a sore spot, and possibly did not believe the old man's explanation once he had come back to himself that J. A. had been an old lover.

  SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION 
  When an elderly man bursts into flame at an assisted living center on Christmas Eve -- and is consumed in under a minute -- no one can explain what started the fire, much less whether it was an accident... or murder. There was nothing combustible in the room with him, nor anything that might have caused a spark. Nothing but a mild-mannered old man, looking forward to spending the holiday with his grandchildren on the morrow. If not for the unusual nature of his death, the police would have no reason to investigate. 
  But investigate they must... and the lead detective on the case will soon discover more than he bargained for, the facts he unearths painting a very different picture of the victim than his family would like. Meanwhile, the detective's own estranged father, recently released from prison, has come to visit for an indefinite period -- complicating life for his son, and forcing him to confront the ethical implications of the secrets he himself continues to harbor. 
  Meet Gray Gaynes: a brilliant investigator, but also a man deeply wounded by his own personal tragedy... A man willing to go to great lengths to hide the truth of the irrevocable changes he is undergoing.
