The Return of Sherlock Holmes (Collins Classics)

Holmes comes back from a death the reading public never accepted, and thirteen new cases follow. The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1903 and 1904, reunites the detective with Dr John Watson across thirteen self contained mysteries. Each story sets a problem, plants its clues in plain sight and closes with the reasoning laid out, which is the pattern later detective fiction has worked from ever since. Victorian London and the country houses beyond it provide the settings, and the collection reads well whether or not the earlier books are familiar. The shape of the book: • Thirteen complete Sherlock Holmes stories in one volume • Originally published across 1903 and 1904 • Self contained cases that can be read in any order • A Collins Classics paperback carrying the full text For crime fiction readers, Holmes followers and students of the genre, published in Collins Classics and available from Boipoka.
