Sherlock Holmes's Greatest Cases
Author: Arthur Conan Doyle
Publisher: Orion
ISBN: 1409136876
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
THE 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

Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Seven further stories from the pen of emerging pastiche author Stephen Herczeg.

A seemingly innocent concern from Lestrade about his cousin, leads Holmes back into a world left behind after the affair of The Five Orange Pips. Investigating the appearance of a body at the base of Tower Bridge, unveils a hidden cult of Satanists performing ritual sacrifices, until Holmes and the British Secret Service intervenes. Called to Scotland Yard, Holmes is re-united with an old acquaintance and dragged into a plot to undermine the Government and give its secrets to Russian spies. Retirement provides no rest for Holmes when a scout troop discovers a partially buried corpse in the forest. An old friend calls Holmes north to Hull to investigate a seemingly trivial matter of cheating, but one that may cause immense embarrassment to the heir to the throne. Strong familial ties draw Holmes and Watson to Hungary for the funeral of Baron Metzengerstein, only to find that a centuries old feud between ruling houses ignites once more resulting in death and carnage. An innocent gathering to showcase wares and food from far flung Borneo, ends with the mysterious death of the host and all evidence pointing to a native of that land.
