Sherlock Holmes – The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle

A vanished detective. A loyal friend. Thirteen new cases from the restored world of Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes was believed to be dead – lost in the final struggle with Professor Moriarty. But when Dr Watson encounters a strangely familiar old bookseller in London, the impossible becomes true: Holmes has survived, and his return brings with it a new series of dangers.

The first case leads back to the shadow of Moriarty, as Colonel Sebastian Moran waits with murderous intent. Soon Holmes and Watson are once again drawn into puzzles of disguise, inheritance, revenge, espionage and murder: strange drawings that conceal a cipher, a missing rugby player, shattered busts of Napoleon, a blackmailer’s fatal papers and a stolen document that could threaten European peace.

These stories show Holmes in the later phase of his career: still brilliant, still theatrical, but touched by absence, secrecy and the knowledge of enemies who have not forgotten him. The Return of Sherlock Holmes restores the detective to Baker Street while expanding the darker, more intricate world around him.
First published in book form in 1905, The Return of Sherlock Holmes followed The Hound of the Baskervilles and marked Doyle’s full revival of Sherlock Holmes after the events of „The Final Problem“. It is presented here as
