Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The first of the Sherlock Holmes stories, this was also the first of Conan Doyle's books to be published. In this fascinating and exciting tale, the two towering creations of detective fiction--Holmes, the master of the science of detection, and Watson, his faithful companion--make their auspicious debut. The two detectives are immediately in fine form as Holmes plucks the solution to the mystery from the heart of Victorian London.

Synopsis:

In the first of Sherlock Holmes adventures, Dr. Watson ends up renting rooms in Baker Street with the eccentric Holmes and finds himself called upon to help the budding detective solve a perplexing mystery involving a dead body showing no sign of having been attacked found in a locked room. Holmes is convinced a murder has been committed.
