We always strive to bring the latest information concerning the world of Sherlock Holmes and crime fiction. In this issue we are very pleased to carry exclusive news regarding a production of The Hound of the Baskervilles, which has been filmed by the Odyessey Network. 

As a result, some pages of the News and Views column have been given up to this special feature. This new movie project reaffirms my belief that Sherlock Holmes remains the most potent character in fiction.
