Every December, readers ask us what to give the mystery lover who seems to have read everything. Our answer: something they can’t get anywhere else. For 28 years The Strand Magazine has published lost and unpublished works by literary legends, and many of those issues are still available, alongside gifts for the Sherlock Holmes fan in your life. Here are our picks for this holiday season.
The gift that arrives all year: a subscription
New mystery fiction from today’s best writers, interviews, reviews, and the next literary discovery before anyone else reads it.
