Stumped? Here's what you do. Each of my Cooper MacLeish novels (see my Book List) contains the title of a Sherlock Holmes adventure embedded in the text. (Example: "Cooper doubted the wisdom of decorating a study in scarlet wallpaper, but he always deferred to Diana on these matters.") Find any of these references and e-mail it to me along with the page number (it's been a long time since I wrote those-- I'm not sure I could find them) and I'll send you the answers to the quiz. Knock yourself out.
