The Return of Sherlock Holmes
The greatest fictional detective returns from the dead. In 1893, Arthur Conan Doyle killed Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls, and the public outcry was so fierce that nine years later he was forced to resurrect him. The result: thirteen stories that prove absence only sharpened the appetite. The collection opens with "The Adventure of the Empty House," in which Dr. Watson investigates the murder of Ronald Adair in a locked room, only to have Holmes materialize from the shadows, very much alive. The detective explains his survival, and the two resume their partnership to pursue the case, ultimately confronting the dangerous Colonel Sebastian Moran and his deadly air-gun. The remaining twelve tales showcase Holmes at his sharpest: his legendary powers of deduction, his mastery of disguise, and his theatrical instinct for dramatic resolution. These stories are for readers who believe no puzzle is unsolvable, that the mind can outwit any villain, and that some friendships survive even death itself.
