Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was both a doctor and a believer in spirits, which may partly explain why his Sherlock Holmes is one of literature's most beloved detectives: Holmes always approaches his cases with the gentility and logic of a scientist, but the stories are suffused with an aura of the supernatural. Narrated by devoted assistant Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes's adventures were so addictive that fans protested the master deducer's "death" in 1893 and Doyle had to resurrect him.
This collection of stories continues the adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle's much-loved fictional detective. In these intriguing tales, Holmes and Watson solve cases that range from the suspicious to the downright strange, and encounter mysteries as diverse as vanishing staff, secret plans and eccentric lodgers. The stories are:
Wisteria Lodge • The Cardboard Box • The Red Circle • The Bruce-Partington Plans • The Dying Detective • The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax • The Devil's Foot • His Last Bow
