FROM WATSON’S NOTEBOOK

This issue of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine offers a single story that I wrote—the tale of the cardboard box—but several other stories are well worth reading, too. I will let my colleague and coeditor Mr Kaye tell you about them.

—John H Watson, M D

Most authors in this issue are what I like to call recidivists since they have appeared here before—Dan Andriacco, Marc Bilgrey. Laird Long and Stan Trybulski. A new story by Eugene D. Goodwin introduces us to Lieutenant Warren T. Sutton, head of the Markheim Colorado police force. In the story of the thief Roebius he is thoroughly baffled by a strange series of bank robberies. Sutton will return with other cases in later issues. We also introduce a “Classic Reprint” department, to showcase rare but exceptional tales by modern writers, kicking off with “The Tahitian Powder Box Mystery,” by James Holding.

Finally, thanks to the Rex Stout Estate, the theft of a priceless figurine of a platypus is solved by America’s greatest detective Nero Wolfe.

Our 23rd issue will again offer new stories by Dan Andriacco and Laird Long, as well as returning author Steve Liskow. It will also include two Sherlock Holmes adventures and two new Nero Wolfe tales, one by the late Henry Enberg, who used to be on the steering committee of the Stout aficionados group The Wolfe Pack.

See you soon!

Canonically Yours,

Marvin Kaye
