Dossier: The Immortal Sherlock Holmes
No mystery is too challenging for the infamous detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. Watson. Holmes is at his best when the job seems impossible—or just plain absurd. From cases involving a strange group for red-headed men to a missing thumb, Holmes uses his powers of observation and deduction to solve even the weirdest mysteries. Scottish author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his first twelve original Sherlock Holmes short stories as serials in the UK's Strand Magazine from 1891-1892. This unabridged collection of the stories is taken from the book form, originally published in 1892.
The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of 13 Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1903-1904, by Arthur Conan Doyle. This was the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes had "died" in The Final Problem. Having published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901-1902 (although setting it before Holmes' death) Doyle came under intense pressure to revive his famous character. The first story is set in 1894 and has Holmes returning in London and explaining the period from 1891-94, a period called "The Great Hiatus" by Sherlockian enthusiasts. Also of note is Watson's statement in the last story of the cycle that Holmes has retired, and forbids him to publish any more stories.Contents"The Adventure of the Empty House""The Adventure of the Norwood Builder""The Adventure of the Dancing Men""The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist""The Adventure of the Priory School""The Adventure of Black Peter""The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton""The Adventure of the Six Napoleons""The Adventure of the Three Students""The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez""The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter""The Adventure of the Abbey Grange""The Adventure of the Second Stain"

The one and only Sherlock Holmes is back from the dead and devoting his life once more to examining the criminal complexities of England's capital city. The thirteen stories included in this masterful book tell of his return. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote of many dreadful murders, but the one which astonished and distressed readers the most was when the author, anxious to try something new, killed off Sherlock Holmes. Trapped in mortal combat with the dastardly Professor Moriarty, Holmes and his opponent plunged to their deaths in the Reichenbach Falls. For ten long years, Baker Street was without its most revered resident. Then, in 1903, Doyle took pity on his readers and brought the sagacious sleuth back to life. The thirteen stories included in this masterful book tell of his return. Cases of mysterious codes, persecuted millionaires, stalkers, abductions, and a meeting with ''the worst man in London'' are all tackled with renewed vigor. But Holmes' old enemies are watching his every move.
