Product Description
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 Rachel written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Rd. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes's famous &seven per cent solution" and the strange puzzle of Mary Mors tan 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 Grim pen 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 Rd. 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.
About the Author:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and began to write stories while he was a student. Over his life he produced more than 30 books, 150 short stories, poems, plays, and essays across a wide range of genres. His most famous creation is the detective Sherlock Holmes, who he introduced in his first novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). This was followed in 1889 by an historical novel, Micah Clarke. In 1893 Conan Doyle published The Final Problem in which he killed off his famous detective so that he could turn his attention more toward historical fiction. However, Holmes was so popular that Conan Doyle eventually relented and published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901. The events of the Hound of the Baskervilles are set before those of The Final Problem, but in 1903 new Sherlock Holmes stories began to appear that revealed that the detective had not died after all. He was finally retired in 1927. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died on July 7, 1930.
