About this title

Synopsis

Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This book contains all the investigations and adventures of the world's most popular detective, Sherlock Holmes. From The Adventure of the Gloria Scott to His Last Bow, we follow the illustrious career of this quintessential British hero from his university days to his final case. His efforts to uncover the truth take him all over the world and into conflict with all manner of devious criminals and dangerous villains, but thankfully his legendary powers of deduction, and his faithful companion Dr. Watson, are more than up to the challenge.

He began publishing stories in 1879 and his first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1887. Holmes soon became an enormously popular figure and Doyle went on to write many stories and novels about him.
