Sherlock Holmes' London: Into the Fog, a high-quality, fold-out map, has just been released by Herb Lester Associates. You can order it online from major sites or directly from HLA if you're in the UK.

Into the Fog: Sherlock Holmes' London leads readers through the capital as Holmes and Watson knew it ― a city of gaslight, theatres, grand hotels and shadowed alleys. This guide sets Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories against the map of London, tracing their adventures from Baker Street to Brixton, from Pall Mall to Paddington.

Real addresses stand beside the fictional: vanished lanes, demolished halls and invented squares, all layered onto the living city. Each entry places a story in its setting, exploring both the history and the imagination that shaped it.

Whether stepping into a Turkish bath on Northumberland Avenue, following a Christmas goose to Covent Garden, or glimpsing fragments of the Red-Headed League off Fleet Street, readers walk the blurred line between fact and fiction.

An essential companion for Sherlockians and London-lovers alike, Into the Fog reveals a city elusive, atmospheric and steeped in intrigue.

He Is Everywhere!

In "How to Get to Heaven From Belfast" (from the creator of "Derry Girls"), there's a convenience store clerk wearing a deerstalker and reading a very well-worn copy of The Private Detective's Handbook. He sizes up his customers quite well.

The major problem with Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock series is that Moriarty is far more interesting than Sherlock is. The second problem is that Dónal Finn, who plays Moriarty, is a far better actor than is Hero Fiennes Tiffin, who plays Sherlock.
