This fall features many new works on Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous creation, including a lost novel by the author himself.

4. Edgar winners Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger have rounded up authors who know Holmes' methods and are delighted to apply them in "A Study in Sherlock" (Bantam; paperback, $15), which includes everything from a graphic novel to a version of "The Greek Interpreter" set in Alaska. S.J. Rozan offers an alternate look at one of Holmes' cases in "The Men With the Twisted Lips," while Lee Child sends a modern FBI agent to investigate a crime on Baker Street, and Phillip Margolin and his brother Jerry present the art heist of a Sherlockian's dreams in "The Adventure of the Purloined Paget." Neil Gaiman, Alan Bradley, Jacqueline Winspear and Laura Lippman also supply entries. All the writers are fans - and it shows.
