A Man Named Baskerville by Jim Nelson

Pre-orders for the special hardcover edition of A Man Named Baskerville are now available—

A Man Named Baskerville retells the infamous Arthur Conan Doyle mystery in a way never told before. It’s a sizzling new take on a classic hailed as a masterpiece of the English language, named one of the most influential books ever by the BBC and Le Monde, and beloved by Sherlock Holmes fans worldwide for over a century.

“Nelson’s style is convincing and engaging, and places his novel firmly shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sherlock Holmes canon.” – My Murmuring Bones

Coming soon – A MAN NAMED BASKERVILLE: Special Edition & audiobook

Leave a comment
A Man Named Baskerville by Jim Nelson

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve signed with MX Publishing in London to release two new editions of A Man Named Baskerville, my reinterpretation of the classic Sherlock Holmes mystery.

Some time in early 2025, you should expect to see a new hardcover and audiobook of Baskerville. I’m especially excited about the audiobook, as this will be the first one produced for my novels.

In order to offset publication costs, MX Publishing will be running a Kickstarter. The donor gift tiers are still being decided, but you should expect to see signed copies of paperback and hardcover editions of Baskerville as thank-you gifts, plus perhaps a couple more surprises.

You can sign up to be notified when the Kickstarter launches—just follow this link and add yourself to the “Saved” list.

And watch this space too, as I’ll be announcing more details as they finalize. You can click on the blue “Subscribe” button to receive notifications.

Thank you for following me this year! I hope to have lots more exciting news and new developments in 2025.

“A Man Named Baskerville” reviewed at Melisende’s Library

A Man Named Baskerville by Jim Nelson

This slipped by me in February, but today I learned A Man Named Baskerville is reviewed positively at Melisende’s Library:

This is the much needed backstory of the character of Stapleton from Conan Doyle’s “Hound of the Baskervilles”. It is exceedingly well done and in keeping with Conan Doyle’s original story. … Heartily recommended for lovers of Holmes and those looking to add to their own Sherlock Holmes collections.

Thanks, Melisende! Full review here, more information on the book here, and Amazon page here.
