The stories by Lutz and Perry with a concluding novella by by Estleman are the high points of this set of Sherlockian pastiches.Two interesting slips, perhaps because the authors are Americans. Being cashiered from the British military was a dishonorable termination, usually for theft or a similar crime. Lutz has his German Major introduce himself as such; which was not done by gentleman. And, Estleman has Holmes client's travel from Italy to London by the North Sea, not very likely. Minor caveats for a generally interesting anthology. ( )
