Dust and Shadow
Breathlessly delivered and painstakingly researched, Dust and Shadow gives readers a distinctive vintage mystery, pitting Sherlock Holmes against Jack the Ripper in a vividly detailed nineteenth-century London. Ever since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the character of the detective Sherlock Holmes, fans have clamored for more. Numerous authors have taken up the task of keeping Holmes alive, but few have successfully delivered as faithful an offshoot as Lyndsay Faye's Dust and Shadow, wherein she brings an unparalleled authenticity to the legendary hero. Just as Faye breathes new life into Sherlock Holmes, she masterfully recreates one of history's most diabolical villains with her version of Whitechapel's serial killer; penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, and brimming with impeccable historical detail, this astonishing debut novel explores the terrifying prospect of tracking a serial killer without the advantage of modern forensics and profiling.

Sherlock Holmes in America
Sherlock Holmes makes his American debut in this fascinating and extraordinary collection of never-before-published crime and mystery stories by bestselling American writers. The world's greatest detective and his friend Dr. Watson are on their first trip across the Atlantic as they fight crime all over nineteenth-century North America. From the bustling neighborhoods of New York City and Washington, D.C., to sunny yet sinister cities like San Francisco on the West Coast, the world's best-loved British sleuth will face some of the most cunning criminals America has to offer, and meet some of America's most famous figures along the way. Lyndsay Faye contributes to the collection "The Case of Colonel Warburton's Madness." "Newcomer Lyndsay Faye, author of Dust and Shadow, offers one of the volume's highlights, "The Case of Colonel Warburton's Madness." In this version of one of Watson's legendary untold tales, Holmes cleverly solves the case in an armchair after the doctor describes a mystery he encountered in San Francisco. "
—Publisher's Weekly
"It is difficult to pick a “best” story from this superb collection, but the first one by Lyndsay Faye, “The Case of Colonel Warburton’s Madness,” immediately sets the proper tone for the remainder of the stories. Watson, in an effort to pull Holmes out of the doldrums, recounts a story of his experience in San Francisco some years ago. While Holmes is not a participant in the story Watson tells, his interjected questions, comments, and analysis are just right to let the reader know that these two are partners in justice, thinking along the same wavelengths." —About.com
