Four novels sit in this single volume: A Study in Scarlet, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Valley of Fear and The Sign of Four. Together they hold the first meeting of Holmes and Watson and the most famous case of the canon.
The longer form lets Conan Doyle do what the short stories cannot, giving space to backstory sections set far from London and to investigations that develop over days rather than pages. Reading the four in sequence shows how the detective changed between his introduction in 1887 and the last of the novels. This arrangement also makes the volume a practical way to own the long fiction without collecting separate books.
