National Book Award winner Patti Smith in an interview in the Guardian said she is tackling a mystery inspired by none other than Sherlock Holmes and American Mystery Writer Mickey Spillane. That’s quite a combination. The author of the memoir “Just Kids” told the newspaper she has been working on the mystery for a couple years and that it starts in London.
Smith who has had a successful career as a punk rocker and poet (more than a dozen books) doesn’t seem content unless she is trying something new. She didn’t say if the mystery makes a stop in Detroit where she lived for nearly two decades. Many of us from Michigan were hoping for a second part to her memoir covering the Detroit years.
