The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

In “The Case-book of Sherlock Holmes” you can read the final twelve stories that Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. It is perhaps the most unusual and certainly the darkest collection that he penned. Treachery, mutilation, and the terrible consequences of infidelity are just some of the themes explored in this collection, along with atmospheric touches of the gothic involving a blood0sucking vampire, crypts at midnight and strange bones in a furnace. The challenging and often bizarre tales reflect the mood of the 1920’s when they were written. Amid this grey miasma of crime stands the shining figure of Sherlock Holmes who is there to unravel even the most baffling mystery.
