Andrew Lane Short Story Collections

'The Old, Old Story, and Other Stories' is the first collection of short science fiction, fantasy, horror and historical crime stories by Andrew Lane. Each story has previously appeared in print in a UK or US magazine or anthology at some stage over the past twenty five years. Andrew Lane is the best-selling author of eight books in the YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES series, three books in the CRUSOE series and two books in the LOST WORLDS series, as well as having co-written the adult SF novel NETHERSPACE with Nigel Foster.

Ten stories by the best-selling author of the Young Sherlock Holmes series, in which the adult Sherlock Holmes investigates a series of apparently insoluble crimes, including the following:- 221b Baker Street is burgled, and a shaved ape left behind…- Three rows of a theatre are filled with fresh corpses…- A man is stabbed to death by an apparently invisible assailant…- Criminals gather to solve a puzzle set by Professor Moriarty before his death…- A dangerous anarchist vanishes on stage directly in front of Doctor Watson…- Holmes investigates the inexplicable death of a childhood friend, shot by a rusty revolver containing no bullets...“Conan Doyle knew how to tell a rattling good adventure yarn and without a doubt so does Andrew Lane. He writes fluidly, introducing his characters with style and humour, never labouring a scene or wasting words…” (Crime Review)
