With a new Introduction by David Stuart Davies. 'Surely no man
would take up my profession if it were not that danger attracts
him.' In The Casebook, you can read the final twelve stories that
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. They
are perhaps the most unusual and the darkest that he penned.
Treachery, mutilation and the terrible consequences of infidelity
are just some of the themes explored in these stories, along with
atmospheric touches of the gothic, involving a bloodsucking
vampire, crypts at midnight and strange bones in a furnace. The
collection His Last Bow features some of Sherlock Holmes' most
dramatic cases, including the vicious revenge intrigue connected
with 'The Red Circle' and the insidious murders in 'The Devil's
Foot'. The title story recounts how Sherlock Holmes is brought out
of retirement to help the government foil a German plot on the eve
of the First World War. These two fascinating sets of stories make
a glorious farewell to the greatest detective of them all and his
erstwhile companion, Dr Watson.
