Sherlock Holmes's Greatest Cases
by Sir Arthur Conan DoyleTHE GAME IS ON: the greatest adventures of the greatest detective of them all - Sherlock Holmes.The most famous of all fictional detectives in a selection of his most challenging cases, including the stories A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA and THE RED-HEADED LEAGUE and his most famous novel THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.'Arthur Conan Doyle is unique in simultaneously bringing the curtain down on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that, while imitated and expanded, has never been surpassed.' Stephen Fry 'Why do people still read Sherlock Holmes in an age of DNA testing and electron microscopes? It's elementary. Holmes has a timeless intelligence that puts him head, shoulders and deer-stalker above all other detectives.' Alexander McCall Smith 'Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet... No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature.' John Le Carre
Sherlock Holmes's School for Detection: 11 New Adventures and Intrigues
by Simon ClarkIt's 1890. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson return to Baker Street after a night pursuing a vicious criminal. Inspector Lestrade is waiting for Holmes with a proposition of national importance. Lestrade tells Holmes that a school of detection has been formed to train a new breed of modern investigators that will serve in Great Britain and the Empire. Most students will become police officers. Some, however, will become bodyguards and spies. Holmes begins instructing his decidedly curious assortment of students from home and abroad. He does so with his customary gusto and inventiveness.Scotland Yard, in the main, allocates crimes to solve and Holmes mentors his students. Occasionally, he shadows them in disguise in order to assess or even directly test their abilities with creative scenarios he devises. Certain crimes investigated by the students might appear trivial, such as the re-positioning of an ornament atop a garden wall, yet it will transpire an assassin has moved the ornament to create good sightlines in order to commit murder with a sniper's rifle. Other mysteries are considered outside the domain of the police. For example, the inexplicable disappearance of a stone gargoyle, which is linked to an ancient family curse. Or a man suffering from amnesia who discovers that not only has he acquired a secret life but also gained an implacable enemy, too. Holmes, with the ever- trustworthy Doctor Watson in his wake, is kept busy with his students' cases, ranging from minor to serious, sometimes rectifying their mistakes and saving them from a variety of disasters.These eleven wonderful new adventures and intrigues include tales such as 'The Gargoyles of Killfellen House', 'Sherlock Holmes and the Four Kings of Sweden' and 'The Case of the Cannibal Club'.

Aquí se dan cita algunos de los más célebres cuentos de misterio protagonizados por el célebre detective y su ayudante, el doctor Watson: «La aventura de la banda de lunares», en el que las únicas pistas son las últimas palabras de una mujer y un inexplicable silbido en la noche; «Las cinco pepitas de naranja», donde una carta desvela una conspiración atlántica; o «El problema final», clímax genuino de las hazañas del personaje, que se enfrentará dramáticamente con su perverso archienemigo, el profesor Moriarty, en la catarata de Reichenbach.

Sherlock Holmes: In His Own Words and in the Words of Those Who Knew Him
by Barry DayA delightful biography of Sherlock Holmes that draws on quotations from Dr. Watson More has been written about Sherlock Holmes in a century than was written about Shakespeare in four. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective that long after his last bow, devotees of Baker Street have continued to produce stories, films, and television works based on the life of Sherlock Holmes. Nothing new can match the brilliant intensity of the original, however, and so Barry Day has produced this invaluable biography of Holmes, drawn from the words of the man who knew him best: Dr. John Watson. From their first days at 221B Baker Street to the tragedy at the Reichenbach Falls, and continuing on after Holmes's glorious resurrection and retirement, Day compiles every detail given in the original stories about the life of the great detective, hoping to solve the most baffling mystery of all: What sort of man was Sherlock Holmes?

Sherlock Holmes: La raccolta completa Satyr Volume 1
by Pennie Mae CartawickDieci avvincenti racconti di Sherlock Holmes riuniti in un solo libro. VOLUME UNO RACCONTO N. 1 Il gioco del gatto con il topo L’interno dell’edificio era buio e nessuno di noi cercò una lampada o un interruttore. Udimmo un ticchettare di un orologio o qualcosa del genere. Il rumore di un rubinetto che perdeva da qualche parte risuonava come un martello su un’incudine. Si udiva il nostro respiro, ma mi sembrava che il cuore facesse più rumore. RACCONTO N. 2 Il mistero della sposa senza volto La sposa non aveva rose marce, ma il suo abito nuziale era lacero e bruciato. Le sue gambe nude, sottili come aghi, barcollavano scompostamente. Il velo pendeva sul viso. Avevo la pistola, ma non potevo sparare. Il suo viso! Anche nell’oscurità potevo vederne il disfacimento. RACCONTO N. 3 Il caso dello specchio crepato Disse di avere visto uno scheletro che indossava una giacca a coda di rondine. Ero molto preoccupato per la giovane donna scomparsa. Se era stata rapita dal fantasma dell’opera, vuoi essere umano o spirito, come se la sarebbe cavata se avesse rifiutato il suo ‘amore’? RACCONTO N. 4 Lo strano caso della donna sui binari Jane strillò sentendo questo ulteriore tradimento e si avventò su Henry. Cominciarono a lottare. Henry era ovviamente il più forte dei due, ma il dolore della donna era inarrestabile. Lui le strinse la gola e Jane gli artigliò il viso sino a quando cadde per terra. Abbassò lo sguardo sul corpo di Jane. RACCONTO N. 5 La maledizione di un nativo Adams aveva schiaffeggiato Kimilu così violentemente che era finito per terra. Il giovane solitamente umile si alzò e con rabbia rispose nella sua lingua nativa, lingua che Adams non comprendeva. Però Butler viveva in Africa da oltre vent’anni e aveva compreso ogni parola. Era a dir poco agghiacciante. RACCONTO N. 6 Il mistero della tomba avvelenata “Ah, buongiorno John! Se non ci affrettiamo, ci perderemo lo scoprimento del sarcofago”. Si alzò,

He arranges for the celebrated detective and Dr. Watson to attend the family's next seance, confident in Holmes' rationalist outlook on the situation.
