'It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'
Sherlock Holmes, scourge of criminals everywhere, whether they be
lurking in London's foggy backstreets or plotting behind the walls of an
idyllic country mansion, and his faithful colleague Dr Watson solve
twelve breathtaking and perplexing mysteries.
In The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the first collection of the
great consulting detective's cases, we encounter some of his most famous
and devilishly difficult problems, including A Scandal in Bohemia,
The Speckled Band, The Red-Headed League, The Blue Carbuncle, The
Five Orange Pips and The Man with the Twisted Lip.
