in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has
been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback
volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan
Doyle's classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes's adventures
in crime!
Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a haunting novel
of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest
murder mystery ever written. The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy,
the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson
has faithfully recorded Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous
cases as the thrilling The Adventure of the Red Circle and the twelve baffling adventures
from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.
Conan Doyle's incomparable tales bring to
life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B
Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed
reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
