Enter the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London and the extraordinary world of Sherlock Holmes, literature's most celebrated consulting detective.
In The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presents twelve classic mysteries narrated by Holmes's trusted friend and companion, Dr. John Watson. Each case reveals Holmes's remarkable powers of observation and deduction as he confronts ingenious deceptions, baffling disappearances, unusual crimes, and mysteries that seem impossible to explain.
This celebrated collection includes "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Red-Headed League," "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches," and seven other unforgettable cases.
First published in book form in 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes established many of the characters, settings, and methods that made Sherlock Holmes an enduring figure in detective fiction. Doyle's combination of mystery, suspense, wit, and memorable characterization continues to captivate readers more than a century later.
This complete paperback edition brings together all twelve original adventures in a single volume, ideal for readers discovering Sherlock Holmes for the first time as well as longtime admirers returning to 221B Baker Street.
Twelve remarkable mysteries. One legendary detective. The game is afoot.
