Verhalen van Sherlock Holmes

The book that invented the detective as we know him. Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes stories defined an entire genre, creating the template that every fictional detective since has borrowed from. Here are nine of the finest: mysterious locked rooms, coded messages, villainous masterminds, and the brilliant, eccentric Holmes with his pipe and magnifying glass, accompanied by the steadfast Dr. Watson. The foggy London streets, the gaslit parlors, the tension of a chase against time, these stories have lost none of their power to thrill. Whether you're meeting Holmes for the first time or returning for another visit, these tales deliver the original fix of mystery, logic, and old-fashioned adventure.
