Kickstarter Projects
At MX Publishing, we're dedicated to ensuring the spirit of Holmes, Watson, and the gaslit streets of London remains alive through an incredible array of new Sherlock Holmes stories. Our innovative approach to publishing means we often launch these exciting new projects on Kickstarter.
PROJECT 1: Moriarty’s Defence of Sherlock Holmes. Live and ending August.
An alternative-canon dark Victorian novel by David Hagar. Set against the foggy streets of 1888 London, this psychological thriller turns the classic Sherlock Holmes universe upside down. When a shocking posthumous manuscript by Dr. John H. Watson threatens to destroy the legacy of Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective, it falls upon Sherlock's greatest rival—Professor James Moriarty—to set the record straight.
Back Moriarty's Defense of Sherlock Holmes by David Hagar.
PROJECT 2: The Crosses - A Baker Street Irregulars Mystery. Launches August.
1925. Las Cruces, New Mexico. The investigation into the murders of three tribal councillors has stagnated amid accusations of racial prejudice. When newspaper publisher Bessie de la Paz requests advice to jumpstart the investigation, former Baker Street Irregular Ben Irwin arrives to assist in tracking down the killer.
The two team up with the investigating deputy sheriff to uncover new clues as Bess’s health declines toward a diagnosis of cancer. The investigation culminates in a fourth death that leads to the killer but undermines the trust Bess has placed in those once closest to her as she now must rely increasingly on Ben for far more than friendship.

PROJECT 3: The Last and Highest Court Of Appeal. Launches September.
It's a true crime story for the ages.
George Edalji, a half-Parsee solicitor was convicted of shocking acts of brutality. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the acclaimed writer, decided to act like Sherlock Holmes and clear Edalji's name.
For decades, this compelling case has intrigued authors, who have fictionalized the story for entertainment, but every adaptation has obscured some of the facts.
The dramatizations and novelization of the Edalji case are studied here, revealing long-overlooked truths.
