There's a really excellent published book called "Dust and Shadow" by Lyndsey Faye (if I'm spelling it right) that came out recently.

I second this. That book is utterly fantastic

There's also a book "The Whitechapel Horrors" by Edward B. Hanna.

Oh and there's a really excellent movie, a little grotesque at times, "Murder by Decree." 1979, Christopher Plummer, James Mason, David Hemmings, Susan Clark, Anthony Quayle.

I just discovered that Nicolas Meyer (author of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution) also wrote "The West End Horror: A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D".

I just saw this at Borders dot com. (I'm on their mailing list and they email me coupons every so often. Coupons!)

The Last Sherlock Holmes Story by Michael Dibdin
Description: In 1888 Sherlock Holmes is languishing for a criminal case worthy of his powers, then one materializes, heralded by the spatter of gore and the shriek of headlines. For in vice-ridden Whitechapel, three female paupers of dubious morals have been murdered, their bodies hideously defiled. And in taunting letters their killer announces his intention to strike again - and signs his name "Jack the Ripper". As conceived by the award-winning mystery writer Michael Dibdin, The Last Sherlock Holmes Story is a brilliantly inventive updating of the Holmes legend. Pitting master detective against archfiend, steely rationalism against satanic depravity, Dibdin gives us a Holmes who is more complex, more human, and ultimately more fascinating than the one imagined by Arthur Conan Doyle.
