The world's best-known detective Sherlock Holmes puts his unparalleled powers of deduction to work again.

'I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart.'

Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in Opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only the great Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate. For he, and he alone, has the extraordinary faculty of perception and almost unhuman energy which could solve them ...

About the Author

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on May 22, 1859. He was a physician and writer, most noted for his Sherlock Holmes books, which are generally considered a major innovation in crime fiction. Conan Doyle had 2 children with his first wife, Louise Hawkins, who died in 1906. He went on to marry Jean Lackie, with whom he had 3 more children. He died of a heart attack in 1930.

Industry Reviews

He is unique in simultaneously bringing down the curtain on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that... has never been surpassed. His own life, as footballer... eye surgeon, champion of injustice and investigator into the paranormal, is the stuff of legend. Personally, I would walk a mile in tight boots to read his letters to the milkman * Stephen Fry, The Arthur Conan Doyle Collection *
