Sherlock Holmes

This collection gathers the Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories Doyle published from 1887 onward. Holmes, a consulting detective in Baker Street, and his chronicler Dr Watson take cases that turn on footprints, cigars, coded messages, and the habits of clients who arrive with incomplete stories. Settings are late-Victorian and Edwardian London, with excursions to the moor, the countryside, and the Continent. Recurring opponents include Professor Moriarty and a run of blackmailers, forgers, and desperate households. The book is a body of detection tales, not a single novel and not a police procedural.
