  About the editor

  David Marcum began his study of the lives of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as a boy in 1975 when, while trading with a friend to obtain Hardy Boys books, he received an abridged copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, thrown in as a last-minute and little-welcomed addition to the trade. Soon after, he saw A Study in Terror on television and began to search out other Holmes stories, both Canon and pastiche. He borrowed way ahead on his allowance and bought a copy of the Doubleday edition of The Complete Sherlock Holmes and started to discover the rest of the Canon that night. His parents gave him Baring-Gould’s Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street for Christmas and his fate was sealed.

  Since that time, he has been reading and collecting literally thousands of Holmes’s cases in the form of short stories, novels, movies, radio and television episodes, scripts, comic books, unpublished manuscripts, and fan-fiction. In addition, he reads mysteries by numerous other authors, including those that he considers the classics, Nero Wolfe, Ellery Queen, Hercule Poirot, and Holmes’s logical heir, Solar Pons.

  When not immersed in the activities of his childhood heroes, David is employed as a licensed civil engineer, and lives in Tennessee with his wife and son. He has finally traveled to Baker Street in London, the location he most wanted to visit in the whole world, as well as other parts of England and Scotland on an incredible trip-of-a-lifetime Holmes Pilgrimage.
