“I have, I think, made my point,” said Professor Moriarty. “And you, Stent, have finally learned your lesson.”
Editors
J. R. Campbell is an occasional presence tolerated by the eminent Sherlockians of Calgary’s Singular Society of the Baker Street Dozen, where he is considered something of a dilettante. Despite this he has managed to co-edit two previous anthologies of Sherlock Holmes mysteries, Curious Incidents and Curious Incidents 2 as well as providing the great detective a chance to fill his pipe on Imagination Theater’s radio series The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He lives in Calgary with his wife and three children, none of whom are impressed by his acquaintance with Sherlock Holmes. Quite correctly, they point out writing about someone clever and observant does not make the writer clever nor observant.
