简介: Sherlock Holmes
The Complete Novels and Stories
Volume II
Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved
fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam
presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan
Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s
adventures in crime!
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 feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the
thrilling The Adventure of the Red Circle, Holmes’s tragic and
fortunately premature farewell in The Final Problem, and the twelve
baffling adventures 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.
