Orbit's been reprinting some of the older Holmes mashups as "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and I've gotten a couple via the library. Estleman's in their series list (but not yet available via the library).

Quality varies, but so far I really liked the Harry Houdini team-up by Daniel Stashower, and the Holmes/War of the Worlds/Professor Challenger three-way mashup was amusing enough.

On the other hand, Fred Saberhagen's Holmes/Dracula sequel was a bit disappointing, though I understand his original Holmes/Dracula tale is something of a minor classic.
