The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes: Stories from the Golden
Age of Gaslight Crime edited by Nick Rennison
#UM0932 Paperback, 316 pages; 2015 $18.95
Elementary, my dear reader! In this excellent collection of fifteen
thrilling and fascinating detective stories published in England from
1890 to 1914, you’ll find such intriguing sleuths as Professor Augustus
S.F.X. Van Dusen (aka The Thinking Machine), Carnacki the Ghost
Finder, Hagar of the Pawn Shop, undercover pro Loveday Brooke,
and the early-twentieth-century techno wonder Craig Kennedy. Like
Sherlock Holmes, these exceedingly capable men and women employ
the power of close observation, shrewd deduction, sharp wit, general
cleverness, and the occasional disguise to solve crimes, investigate
paranormal activities, plan impossible escapes, and much more. Each
satisfying selection begins with a brief bio of the author and most include an explanation by
editor Nick Rennison of why the particular story was chosen from the author’s oeuvre. This
unique anthology of works by Arthur Conan Doyle’s contemporaries is a shimmering gem from
“the Golden Age of Gaslight Crime.” (CPK)
