...and why not call the project "The adventure of Timon Semplar"?
The same Leslie Charteris proposed this name to a french producer who was producing a new film about the Saint (as reported by B.Barer). Mr.Charteris found the book Arsene Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes and had the idea.
In this way we can have the possibility to write new adventures without infrigement on rights. And at the same time we can use an idea of the Original Creator.

  I Was reading last night about parodies. Possibly this type of story could
  be written by those budding writers in this group.

  An example, could be the story from the viewpoint of a bumbling Mr. Peal ( a
  takeoff on Mr. Teal). All names would be changed and behaviors exaggerated.
  A group project like that would probably be realisitc and I don't see an
  infrigement on rights. Now this is looking at it from the framework of USA
  laws (I'm not a lawyer).

  Sometimes parodies can actually increase sales of the original works. ==>
