A child’s body surrounded by candles in misty woodland, scripture stuffed in his mouth. A jockey pinned down by horseshoes on desolate fenland, linked to a secret society called The Horsemen. A university student in black robes drifting on a river, dead, Satanic symbols carved into their flesh.

McDermids allererste Weihnachtsanthologie: winterlich, festlich, tödlich! Val McDermid zeigt sich als Meisterin der kurzen Form. Von St. Petersburg über Sarajevo bis zu den schottischen Highlands – von vergangenen Jahrhunderten bis heute – jede Geschichte ist anders als die vorherige.

Included are 31 new stories in three companion volumes by some of today’s best Sherlockian pasticheurs.

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce.
