The celebrated detective, along with his friend and biographer, Dr Watson, investigate a variety of baffling mysteries that will delight fans of the famous sleuth.Striding through the foggy gas lit streets of London, Holmes tackles such cases as 'The Puzzle of the Green Skull', 'The Secret of the Brown Box', the conundrum of 'The Dragon of Lea Lane', as well as coming face to face once again with 'The Sussex Vampire'.We also learn what really happened at the Reichenbach Falls when Holmes had his fateful encounter with Professor Moriarty.

The Complete Stories

It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet.

The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.
