" The Moor," by Laurie R. King, features the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould, author of "Onward Christian Soldiers" and grandfather of Sherlock Holmes's "biographer," W.S. Baring-Gould. The plot centers around Dartmoor, the setting of Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles."

Big fun. King is a scholar-geek of all manner of esoterica, which she uses to great effect in her mysteries.
