The Sherlockian / Abraham Moore / 350 pages / Anthony Award Best First Novel 2011

I love the cover of this book - inverted Sherlock Holmes-type pipe forming a question mark with a cut-out blood splatter for the dot.  This story is a mesmerizing, historical suspense detailing the discovery of the lost diary of the author of Sherlock Holmes and the murder of the man who found it.  Why did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle kill Holmes off only to later resurrect Him?
