Return of Sherlock Holmes (Version 3)
Return of Sherlock Holmes (Version 3)
The most famous detective in literary history returns from the dead in this landmark collection. In 1893, Arthur Conan Doyle killed Sherlock Holmes off, prompting public outrage so intense that the author was forced to resurrect his creation eight years later. The Return of Sherlock Holmes marks that triumphant comeback, opening with Holmes materializing in Watson's study after years presumed lost to a Swiss waterfall. The Great Hiatus is over. This collection of thirteen stories showcases Holmes at his sharpest: the cryptogram paintings of 'The Dancing Men,' the priceless pearls vanishing from an unlocked room, the Napoleon busts systematically destroyed across London. Watson, that loyal chronicler, narrates it all with his accustomed warmth. These are Victorian mysteries at their finest, puzzles solved through observation and logic rather than coincidence. For anyone who has ever wondered what happened after theReichenbach Falls, here is your answer. For mystery lovers, for classic fiction devotees, for those who believe the dead should stay buried until the plot demands otherwise.
