Wandering Down "The Strand" (Magazine):

A subscription makes a great gift for any mystery addict.The Best British Mysteries 2005 (Best British Mysteries) The Strand
The magazine of Conan Doyle is back again.:
The original Strand magazine was published from the 1890's until 1950. Bringing the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and G. K. Chesterton to a wide readership, it also printed a serialized "Hound of the Baskervilles." Now it's back with short stories, articles and interviews with the most exciting contemporary (primarily but not exclusively British) mystery writers.Death of an Obnoxious Tourist (Five Star Mystery Series)
