Stephen King even wrote a Holmes story, in one of his collections of shorts.

Know what I'd like to see? A Sherlock Holmes story set in the present day. It'd be fascinating to see Holmes use modern tech, like the Internet, to solve his cases.

An imaginative writer could make much of this concept.

(and I be Holmes would've been a FReeper.)

That might be the *FreeAmerica website described by Travis McGee in Chapter 3 of his novel Enemies, Foriegn and Domestic, which sure did remind me of FRee Republic.

Perhaps the present-day Holmes would be a descendent of the original. We can kick this idea around a little. And a couple of surprise hooks are possible....
