Exploits of Sherlock Holmes and The New Exploits of Sherlock Holmes. Both of these books were written by Adrian, who was Arthur's son, with the help of John Dickson Carr, a notable mystery novelist himself, under that name, and also Carter Dickson.
While I'm at it, there are the Solar Pons mysteries, by August Derleth, probably the best pastiche series spinning off of Holmes.
Check out The Game is Afoot, edited by Marvin Kaye.
And then there are the spinoffs written with Mycroft Holmes as the protagonist, and Lestrade, and even Moriarity. A little googling, or searching around on Amazon, will pop these up.
