The Case of the Displaced Detective: The Arrival is a science fiction mystery in which brilliant hyperspatial physicist, Dr. Skye Chadwick, discovers there are alternate realities, often populated by those we consider only literary characters. Her pet research, Project: Tesseract, hidden deep under Schriever AFB, finds Continuum 114, where Sherlock Holmes was to have died along with Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. In a knee-jerk reaction, Skye rescues Holmes, who inadvertently flies show more through the wormhole to our universe, while his enemy plunges to his death. Unable to go back without causing devastating continuum collapse, Holmes must stay in our world and adapt. Meanwhile, the Schriever AFB Dept of Security discovers a spy ring working to dig out the details of - and possibly sabotage - Project: Tesseract. Can Chadwick help Holmes come up to speed in modern investigative techniques in time to stop the spies? Will Holmes be able to thrive in our modern world? Is Chadwick now Holmes' new "Watson" - or more? And what happens next? show lessTags

I had heard of this book at a Sherlock Holmes panel at LonCon3 (Worldcon) and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, as was stated by another reviewer, I found it too fan-fiction-y to be able to get into the book. I rarely give up on a book, but this one, for now, it's going in the "ugh" pile.
