by David Niall Wilson and Patricia Lee Macomber originally published Shadows Over Baker Street, Del Rey, 2002
Watson gets a surprise when visited by two gentlemen - one of whom he had pronounced dead only a few days before!
Holmes' investigation leads him to an abandoned former insane asylum, where the mysterious Aaron Silverman is keeping the reanimated corpse under lock and key - since it isn't a very cooperative zombie. it seems that Silverman has studied both The Necronomicon, and the work of Caresco Surhomme. But Holmes soon makes short work of his ill deeds.
A pretty forgettable tale despite some effective, pulp-horror writing, and an unusual theme.
