In 1992, the Northern Musgraves Sherlock Holmes Society invited Weighell to produce a story for their ‘Aspects of Holmes’ weekend. The positive reception of The Shadow of the Wolf, read out at the society's annual dinner, led Weighell to write more Sherlock Holmes stories. His collection The Irregular Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, published in 2000, proved a popular work and was re-printed in 2018 by Zagava Press.
