holmes aficionado stephen fry wrote a short story featuring holmes, "the adventure of the laughing jarvey", in which holmes and watson encounter a great victorian writer and are engaged on a mission to recover a lost manuscript. it includes introductory text claiming the tale itself to be a long-lost manuscript, which modern analysis has shown to use linguistic style and grammar typical of watson. the story appears in fry's collection of journalism and early writings, "paperweight" (1992). in stephen king's short story "the doctor's case" (1993), holmes's alleged allergy to cats prevents him for once from solving the problem quicker than watson. barrie roberts penned a series of holmes pastiches including "sherlock holmes and the man from hell" and "sherlock holmes and the railway maniac" from 1994 until his death in 2007. "o xangô de baker street" (1995) tells the comic story of sherlock holmes's visit to brazil, invited by the emperor dom pedro ii, to solve the disappearance of a stradivarius violin which becomes a hunt for a serial killer. larry millett has written six books and a short story featuring holmes solving mysteries in minnesota. michael mallory has written more than two dozen short stories and two novels featuring "amelia watson," the second wife of dr. watson. these are not pastiches so much as original detective stories that view holmes and watson from a different, somewhat humorous, point of view. colin bruce's "" (1997) and "conned again, watson!: cautionary tales of logic, maths and probability" (2001) are books of sherlock holmes stories in which holmes uses scientific and mathematical approaches respectively to solve mysteries. "the mandala of sherlock holmes: the missing years" (1999), by tibetan author jamyang norbu is an account of holmes's adventures in india and tibet where, posing as sigerson, he meets the dalai lama and huree chunder mookerjee, a character from rudyard kipling's novel "kim".
