' ... once again Mr Sherlock Holmes is free to devote his life to examining those interesting little problems which the complex life of London so plentifully presents.'. Evil masterminds beware! Sherlock Holmes is back! Ten years after his supposed death in the swirling torrent of the Reichenbach Falls locked in the arms of his arch enemy Professor Moriarty, Arthur Conan Doyle agreed to pen further adventures featuring his brilliant detective. In the first story, 'The Empty House', Holmes returns to Baker Street and his good friend Watson, explaining how he escaped from his watery grave. In creating this collection of tales, Doyle had lost none of cunning or panache, providing Holmes with a sparkling set of mysteries to solve and a challenging set of adversaries to defeat. The potent mixture includes murder, abduction, baffling cryptograms and robbery. We are also introduced to the one of the cruellest villains in the Holmes canon, the despicable Charles Augustus Milverton. As before, Watson is the superb narrator and the magic remains unchanged and undimmed.

The stories, in which the master sleuth receives a stream of clients presenting him with baffling and bizarre mysteries in his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, were instantly popular and by the time of the publication of the final story, 'The Copper Beeches', they had become the mainstay of The Strand Magazine.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the classic detective chiller. It features the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, in his most challenging case. The Baskerville family is haunted by a phantom beast "with blazing eyes and dripping jaws" which roams the mist-enshrouded moors around the isolated Baskerville Hall on Dartmoor. Now the hound seems to be stalking young Sir Henry, the new master of the Baskerville estate. Is this devilish spectre the manifestation of the family curse? Or is Sir Henry the victim of a vile and scheming murderer? Only Sherlock Holmes can solve this devilish affair. The Valley of Fear is a dark, powerful tale, which provides the great detective with a most perplexing case and opens with a vile murder: "Lying across his chest was a most curious weapon, a shotgun with the barrel sawn off in front of the triggers. It was clear that it had been fired at close range, and that he had received the whole charge in the face, blowing his head almost to pieces". Sherlock Holmes' arch enemy, the criminal genius Professor Moriarty, is back! But the solution to the riddle, found after many surprising twists and high dramas, lies far away, half across the world in a location known as 'The Valley of Fear'. This is Conan Doyle's last Holmes novel and in the opinion of many of his fans, it is the best!

This collection includes such stories as 'The Adventure of the Resident Patient' and 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter', which Doyle would list later as amongst his favourites.

Da denne, den fjerde og sidste af de lange Sherlock Holmes historier udkom i 1914, bemærkede Arthur Conan Doyle i en let tone: 'Jeg tænker, dette er min svanesang i den skønlitterære genre'. Ganske rigtigt var hans tid som skønlitterær forfatter praktisk talt forbi, og han gik ind for spiritismen, som kom til at beherske hans sidste år.Frygtens dal, der udkom som føljeton i The Strand Magazine fra september 1914 til april 1915, er den historie, hvori Holmes løser mysteriet om et rædselsfuldt mord i en herregård, omgivet af en voldgrav, i Sussex.Undervejs afslører han en tidligere og barskere historie om lovløshed og massedrab i en minedal i USA og prøver endnu en gang kræfter med professor Moriarty's overlegne forbryder-hjerne.krimi, gys, mysteriet, pibe, deerstalker, boheme, geni, ukonventionel, original, intelligent, excentriker, excentrisk, detektiv, aristokrat, privatdetektiv, politi, lov og ret, mordgåder, kriminalitet, død, drab, den victorianske periode, Baker street, deduktion, England, UK, 1890-1899

Der har længe været stille i Baker Street 221B, og dr. John Watson har fortvivlet set til, mens hans gode ven og bofælle, Sherlock Holmes, er sunket ned i kedsomhed og brugen af stimulanser. Men endelig en dag lysner situationen: En smuk, ung dame ved navn miss Morstan henvender sig med en højst besynderlig sag.Hendes far forsvandt under mystiske omstændigheder for 10 år siden, kort efter sin hjemkomst fra Indien, og 4 år senere begyndte hun hvert år at modtage en kostbar perle med posten – uden nogen forklaring. Nu har hun imidlertid fået et brev, hvori hun inviteres til at møde sin ukendte velgører.Holmes og Watson tilbyder at ledsage hende, og snart hvirvles de ind i en dramatisk og gruopvækkende historie om en gammel indisk skat, om mord, svig og hævn og om en mystisk pagt mellem fire mænd, hvis ildevarslende tegn dukker op igen og igen, efterhånden som mesterdetektiven og hans ven trænger længere ind i mysteriets dystre mørke.Den nye komplette Sherlock Holmes-udgave består af ni bind svarende til de ni originale bøger. Bøgerne er forsynet med forord og noter og udstyret med originalillustrationer. Udgivelsen sker under vejledning af cand.mag.
