Author is Anthony Boucher who was honored by using his name for the world mystery conference - Bouchercon.

Setting for this story is Hollywood, 1939.

From the cover:

When a Hollywood studio announces plans to film a Conan Doyle classic, it arouses the ire of a group of Sherlock Holmes aficionados. Soon all sorts of thrilling things begin to happen, such as murder with a disappearing corpse, cryptograms, a couple of cock-eyed adventures in the best Holmes tradition and all the odd trimmings, including a Watson who is a cop, not a doctor.
