Sherlock Holmes – The Complete Short Stories

Arthur Conan Doyle

In the Sherlock Holmes short stories, Arthur Conan Doyle created some of the most memorable mysteries in English literature: from A Scandal in Bohemia and The Red-Headed League to The Speckled Band, Silver Blaze, and the adventures surrounding Holmes’s legendary return.

Across fifty-six stories, Holmes and Dr Watson enter a world of locked rooms, vanished persons, coded messages, strange inheritances, sinister plots, and crimes that seem impossible until the great detective brings them into the light.

Brilliantly constructed, atmospheric, and endlessly readable, these tales established the model for modern detective fiction and secured Sherlock Holmes’s place as the most famous detective in literature.

This is the English-language edition of the complete short stories.
