Description

"Each of these nineteen tales, from Sherlock's first appearance in A Study in Scarlet to the late classic The Dying Detective, is a potent mix of murder, suspense, cryptic clues, red herrings, and revenge -- a ground-breaking combination of forensic science and bold storytelling. Sherlock Holmes established new rules for what a fictional hero could be, and provided a template for detective stories we still follow today. With introductions by Steven and Mark for each story, this beautifully designed collection is the perfect introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes and the ultimate gift for fans of the show it inspired." ---------- [Study in Scarlet](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16290253W/A_Study_in_Scarlet) [Sign of Four](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL262585W/The_Sign_of_Four) [Scandal in Bohemia](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14930611W/A_Scandal_in_Bohemia) [Red-Headed League](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL262476W/The_Red-Headed_League) [Case of Identity](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14929939W/A_Case_of_Identity) [Man with the Twisted Lip](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14930258W/Man_With_the_Twisted_Lip) [Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1518317W/Adventure_of_the_Blue_Carbuncle) [Adventure of the Speckled Band](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15297563W/Adventure_of_the_Speckled_Band) [Silver Blaze](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1518358W/Silver_Blaze) [Adventure of the Yellow Face](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20571966W/Adventure_of_the_Yellow_Face) [Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20619374W/Adventure_of_the_Musgrave_Ritual) Adventure of the Greek Interpreter Final Problem Hound of the Baskervilles [Adventure of the Empty House](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1518119W/The_Adventure_of_the_Empty_House) [Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20621973W/Adventure_of_Charles_Augustus_Milverton) Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans Adventure of the Devil's Foot Adventure of the Dying Detective
