With a new Introduction by David Stuart Davies.
‘Surely no man would take up my profession if it were
not that danger attracts him.’
In The Casebook, you can read the final twelve stories that Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. They are perhaps the
most unusual and the darkest that he penned. Treachery, mutilation
and the terrible consequences of infidelity are just some of the
themes explored in these stories, along with atmospheric touches of
the gothic, involving a bloodsucking vampire, crypts at midnight
and strange bones in a furnace.
The collection His Last Bow features some of Sherlock Holmes’ most
dramatic cases, including the vicious revenge intrigue connected
with ‘The Red Circle’ and the insidious murders in ‘The Devil’s Foot’.
The title story recounts how Sherlock Holmes is brought out of
retirement to help the government foil a German plot on the eve of
the First World War.
These two fascinating sets of stories make a glorious farewell to the
greatest detective of them all and his erstwhile companion,
Dr Watson.
