Danger! and Other Stories

A master storyteller proves he has far more weapons in his arsenal than a deerstalker hat. These twelve stories move from the trenches of the First World War to the dark corridors of the English countryside, from African jungles to the deepest recesses of the human mind. In "Danger!" a German spy walks the streets of London with devastating plans, until an ordinary Englishman stumbles onto his trail. "The Black Doctor" follows a physician battling both prejudice and a mysterious plague in colonial Africa. The title story, "The Prisoner of the Corridor," traps a man in a private hell of his own making, where the walls have ears and the mind becomes its own jailer. Doyle was never merely a one-note wonder, and this collection proves it. Whether he's writing spy fiction, psychological suspense, or adventure tales that pulse with exotic danger, his prose crackles with the same energy that made Holmes legendary. For readers who think they know Doyle only as the creator of the world's most famous detective, these tales offer a stunning revelation.
