The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes - The Sherlock Holmes Collector's Library

Arthur Conan Doyle

A volume of seemingly unsolvable mysteries, The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes features the final twelve short stories in Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective series.

First published in 1927, this volume is the last instalment in Arthur Conan Doyle's series of Sherlock Holmes' adventures. Usually narrated by Doctor Watson, the detective's companion and accomplice, these final short stories divert the author's typical style, and two adventures are narrated by Holmes himself.

The short stories featured in this volume include:
    - The Adventure of the Illustrious Client
    - The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier
    - The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone
    - The Adventure of the Three Gables
    - The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire
    - The Adventure of the Three Garridebs
    - The Problem of Thor Bridge

This edition features a specially commissioned introduction alongside an article by Arthur Conan Doyle and an essay on the history of detective fiction by S.S. Van Dine.

Praise for this book

"In these last twelve adventures there are no signs of flagging vigour or failing in ingenuity. Sir Arthur has us at his mercy as soon as and whenever he calls his genie into action." - London Daily News, 1927
