Publisher's Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes, the best-known fictional detective of all times, is known for his wit, his mastery over reasoning, scientific knowledge, and mostly for his unparalleled skills at solving crimes. A resident of 221B Baker Street, London, Holmes is undoubtedly an extraordinary man with exceptional talents. With his friend and confidant, Dr. Watson, Sherlock takes on many adventures, where he manifests his artful way of deduction. Many of these adventures are written from the perspective of Dr. Watson. Holmes' clients come from different strata of Victorian society, from the most powerful monarchs and governments to wealthy aristocrats and industrialists to impoverished moneylenders and governesses. It's been more than a century since Sherlock Holmes first appeared in print and captivated readers. Arthur Conan Doyle's methodical sleuth has been stirring imaginations ever since - even now, the Holmes canon continues to grow as more books, television series, cartoons, and films continue to appear.
