Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series; designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith; these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality; colourful; tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. This collection includes many of the famous cases - and great strokes of brilliance - that made the legendary Sherlock Holmes one of fiction's most popular creations. With his devoted amanuensis; Dr Watson; Holmes emerges from his smoke filled rooms in Baker Street to grapple with the forces of treachery; intrigue and evil in such cases as 'The Speckled Band'; in which a terrified woman begs their help in solving the mystery surrounding her sister's death; or 'A Scandal in Bohemia'; which portrays a European king blackmailed by his mistress. In 'Silver Blaze' the pair investigate the disappearance of a racehorse and the violent murder of its trainer; while in 'The Final Problem' Holmes at last comes face to face with his nemesis; the diabolical Professor Moriarty - 'the Napoleon of crime'.
