Description
Here are twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, the first to feature his immortal detective, Sherlock Holmes. A man of reason and astute reflection, Sherlock Holmes brings order and answers to the mysteries woven by hidden identities, heinous acts, and crimes of passion and deceit. With his keen insight into human nature, Holmes is able to use his signature witty brand of intelligence, rationale, and clever observation to uncover the truth and bring his culprits to justice.
About the Author
A doctor by profession, Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) began writing short stories as a young medical student. After setting up his first practice, he took up writing again when business was slow. It was his second foray into literature, in 1887, that brought about the debut of Doyle's beloved character Sherlock Holmes.

Among some of Doyle's most famous works are A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and The Hound of the Baskervilles.
