You might like The Final Solution, which is Michael Chabon's take on Holmes as an ancient Sussex beekeeper on the eve of WW2. (Spoiler: He doesn't catch the real bad guy.)
And speaking of Chabon, you might also like The Yiddish Policemen's Union, which is Jewish-themed, near future, alt history detective noir. It might be my favorite good-for-you litfic that I've read in the past year.
