"THE HOUSE OF SILK." By Anthony Horowitz. Mulholland Books. $27.99.

Sherlock Holmes will never die -- no generation of writers would let him.

Someone will always lovingly gather the classic pieces -- Dr. John Watson, the Baker Street Irregulars, Holmes' smarter brother Mycroft, even the cocaine use -- and reassemble them.

"THE SHERLOCKIAN." By Graham Moore. Twelve. $24.99.

Ever since Sherlock Holmes was borne out of the imagination of his creator Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, the brilliant London-based "consulting detective" has never gone out of style. Holmes with his acute reasoning may even be more popular now thanks to the Baker Street Irregulars members, the expanded Sherlock Holmes Museum in London and even the 21st re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes that recently aired on PBS.
