All four legendary Sherlock Holmes novels, collected in a unique
Graphic Deluxe Edition with an introduction by Michael Dirda
Though endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented, and imitated, the Sherlock
Holmes stories have never been surpassed. Sporting his signature
billowing coat and pipe in hand, the genius investigator Holmes
captivates readers with his alluring melancholy and superhuman
intuition, while his partner, Dr. Watson, remains ever the perfect foil,
a classic Victorian gentleman with brilliant intellect. Collected here
are all four Holmes novels--A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four,
The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear--tracing the
origins of the pair up through showdowns with their greatest
archenemies, including the infamous Professor Moriarty. Set in the
seductive shadow world of Victorian London, the stories of Holmes and
Watson live on, as immediate and original in our time as in their own.
