Since his first appearance in Beetonâs Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyleâs Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam Classics presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyleâs classic heroâa truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmesâs adventures in crime!
Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmesâs famous âseven percent solutionâ and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmesâs feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling âThe Adventure of the Speckled Band,â the baffling riddle of âThe Musgrave Ritual,â and the ingeniously plotted âThe Five Orange Pips,â tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
