Arguably the best of the four Sherlock Holmes novels, Arthur Conan
Doyle's horror masterpiece was first published in The Strand Magazine
between August 1901 and April 1902. This edition features a specially
commissioned introduction alongside an article by Arthur Conan Doyle and
an essay on the history of detective fiction by S.S. Van Dine.
