The complete collection of Sherlock Holmes's adventures in crime including all four novels and
fifty-six short stories featuring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic hero Volume I includes the
early novel A Study in Scarlet which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the
world. This baffling murder mystery with the cryptic word Rache written in blood first
brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next The Sign of Four presents Holmes's famous
"seven percent solution" and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential
locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous
cases as "The Adventure of the Speckled Band " "The Musgrave Ritual " and "The Five Orange
Pips." Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles a haunting novel of murder on
eerie Grimpen Moor which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever
written. The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy the master of imaginative
crime Professor Moriarty. In addition the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes's
exploits from "The Adventure of the Red Circle" to the twelve baffling enigmas from The Case
Book of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle's incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of
horse-drawn cabs fogs and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street where for more than forty
years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of
all time.
