Since his first appearance in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved
fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam
presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan
Doyle's classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes's
adventures in crime!
Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a haunting
novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its
reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley of
Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative
crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has
faithfully recorded Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such
famous cases as the thrilling The Adventure of the Red Circle and
the twelve baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock
Holmes.
Conan Doyle's incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of
horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street,
where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed
reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
