De entre todos ellos, destacaba uno de arte egipcio con un precioso escarabeo del Imperio Nuevo en la portada. Pensé: “¿Y si su inscripción fuera la clave de un importante secreto?”.

Rarely does a figure continue to live past the original writer’s time, but Krisco has managed a way to keep Holmes alive — much to the delight of this fan. In The Celtic Phoenix, Krisco treats us to an in-depth look into the lives of the ancient Celts and their intriguing ways, while at the same time entwining Holmes and Watson into the thick of things.

The Art of Sherlock Holmes West Palm Beach Edition “This big, handsome book is the realisation of Mr Growick’s plan to commission an illustration each from painters in his home city of West Palm Beach, Florida for fifteen new Sherlock Holmes stories. Some of the authors’ names are reassuringly familiar: Mike Hogan, David Marcum, Mark Mower, Denis Smith, Daniel Victor and others. The artists, whose styles include "abstract, contemporary, digital, realist, minimalist, symbolism, or an amalgam of various forms", were all unknown to me, but I’ll be looking out for more work by some of them, at least. Full-colour prints...
