Believe it or not, Kareem Abdul Jabbar just published his 2nd Sherlock Holmes novel

The first was called Mycroft Holmes and the newest is titled, Mycroft and Sherlock. They are coauthored by Anna Waterhouse.

I reserved both at my library this morning and the Washington Post book critic enjoyed them.

Anyone read them yet?

but haven't started reading it yet. It's very popular, though, so I expect to enjoy it and get the second one later.

And a little kid comes up and asks, "Aren't you Sherlock Holmes?".

I am loving it. Interesting tale, and funny. I like his concept of "moral insanity" since we are now dealing with that very thing. Prescient.
