While the club first met in 1950, the Danish appreciation of Sherlock Holmes is as old as the Great Detective himself, when translations, movies, and parodies of his cases first graced the pages of the country’s newspapers. </p><p>Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with Christian Monggaard, BSI ("Neville St. Clair") to discover the exceptional community of artists and writers who first brought Holmes to the Danish public and formed the first societies. You’ll hear about noted the artists and illustrators Robert Storm-Petersen and Henry Lauritzen, and learn the twists and turns that led to Christian’s career as a film critic and journalist.</p><p>Of course we lead off with Sherlockian gatherings for the second half of November in "The Learned Societies" segment. Madeline Quinones is back with "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with something from the vaults for the winner.

He's best known for his 1974 best-selling novel, <a href="https://amzn.to/4n1U6wc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Seven-Per-Cent Solution</em></strong></a>, which revitalized Sherlock Holmes for a new generation of readers. His other Holmes novels, including <a href="https://amzn.to/4n1U9Io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The West End Horror</em></strong></a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3HOA35y" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Canary Trainer</em></strong></a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/4oY6LC8" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Adventure of the Peculiar Protocols</em></strong></a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4oW8xUt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Return of the Pharaoh</em></strong></a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4n6m8Xt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram From Hell</em></strong></a> have cemented his place as a celebrated perpetuator of Watson’s reports. </p><p>Beyond his literary achievements, Nick is a prolific screenwriter and director, credited with directing the iconic films <i>Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan</i> and <i>Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country</i>. He also directed the landmark television movie <i>The Day After</i>, which remains one of the most-watched television films ever made.</p><p>Nick's latest novel is <i><b><a href="https://amzn.to/3UPBEej" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing</a></b></i>. In the book, Holmes and Watson are drawn into a bizarre and deadly case set in the cutthroat world of art. The mystery begins with a seemingly mundane complaint from a landlady about her artist tenant, but quickly escalates as corpses begin to appear. The pair navigate a fascinating cast of characters — including an artist, his mistress, and his dealer — to discover what makes a work of art worth killing for. </p><p>Join our wide-ranging discussion, which touches, in this age of artificial intelligence, on what makes one work genuine and another just a clever forgery.</p><p>Then we look ahead to Sherlockian gatherings for the last half of October in "The Learned Societies" segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with "A Chance of Listening," bringing us an introduction to her own show, <i>Dynamics of a Podcast</i>, the only podcast dedicated to Professor James Moriarty, archnemesis of Sherlock Holmes. The Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of Nick's new book for the winner.

Join our conversation with Paul Bishop as we explore his new book, <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3Ixva0x" target="_blank">52 Weeks | 52 Sherlock Holmes Stories</a></i></b>. Paul is the author of 15 novels and numerous TV and film scripts — and also a 35-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department.</p><p>Paul’s new book is a selection of Sherlockian pastiches chosen and recommended by the individual essay writers themselves. Beyond the plots and author bios, Paul’s writers give personal perspectives on why these stories were important to them, and the connection Sherlock Holmes has played in their lives. </p><p>Paul also discusses his writing career, which spans multiple genres including screenplays, westerns and other novels. He discusses his journey as an author, and how storytelling has shaped his life. We also talk about connecting with fellow writers, and the remarkable variety of people drawn to Sherlock Holmes.</p><p>Some of those remarkable people will be gathering in person and virtually in the weeks ahead, so you will want to hear about August events in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with “<b>A Chance of Listening</b>,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with <b>a copy of Paul's book </b>for the winner.

King six years to find a publisher for her first book, but it was worth the wait. She won the Edgar in 1994 for Best First Novel with <i>A Grave Talent</i>, which launched her Kate Martinelli series, set in San Francisco. That same year, <i>The Bee-Keeper’s Apprentice</i> introduced the impressive, young Mary Russell, who would meet and eventually marry the retired Sherlock Holmes — “the least marriageable man I knew,” according to Mary, in 1921.</p><p>Since then, Russell and Holmes have traveled the world in eighteen novels, finding mystery and adventure everywhere from the English countryside to Palestine to California. Along the way, Mary’s partnership with Holmes has evolved, usually in plots that mix real events with suspenseful intrigue. </p><p>Now <i>Knave of Diamonds</i>, the nineteenth book in the series, brings Mary a case not even Sherlock Holmes could solve: the very real theft of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle years before. It comes with the sudden return of Mary’s unprincipled Uncle Jake, traveling on a cloud of fabrications and falsehoods.</p><p>Laurie R. King was named a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 2022. Join us for a conversation about the Irish Crown Jewels, Laurie’s approach to storytelling, Mary’s background and her conflicting loyalties, and much more.</p><p>So you can see what’s coming, we share the first half of August in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment.

This world-renowned collection, the work of one of the foremost Doylean scholars, is a treasure trove for researchers, enthusiasts, and the public. The Collection preserves books, manuscripts, artifacts, and ephemera that illuminate Conan Doyle's life, his beloved Sherlock Holmes, and the cultural impact of his work.</p><p>Laura Weston is the Education and Learning Officer for the Collection at the Portsmouth City Council, making the collection accessible and engaging to a global audience. Laura joins us to discuss the annual Worldwide Doyle conference, a series of virtual talks by writers, fans, and academics who are passionate about Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. The program is taking place in June and July; all events take place at 7:00 pm BST and are free of charge, and will be available online.</p><p>How does a city like Portsmouth turn a literary archive into a global attraction — and why does it matter? What behind-the-scenes choices shape the talks and exhibits that bring Sherlock Holmes to life for new audiences? Laura discusses all of this, including the unexpected item in the Collection that made even its curator stop and say, “I didn’t see that coming.”</p><p>So you can see what’s coming, we share the full calendar of July in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment.
