Praise for ''A Study in Sherlock'':
''A notorious lawsuit over whether the Great Detective was in the public domain - he is, according to the court - held up this sequel to King and Klinger's collection A Study in Sherlock, but it's well worth waiting for . . . The range of the fifteen new stories here is remarkable.'' --Kirkus Reviews
''Devotees of the greatest of all fictional detectives will welcome this anthology from King and Klinger who have assembled a murderers' row of talent, including bestselling authors not usually associated with Holmes and Watson.'' --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
''All the writers are fans - and it shows.'' --Washington Post on A Study in Sherlock
''Thoroughly entertaining . . . For Holmes fans this is a must-have. For everybody else, it's highly recommended.'' --Mystery Scene on A Study in Sherlock
