Having firmly established the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr
Watson in the novels A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was retained by The Strand Magazine to
contribute a series of twelve short stories, which began with 'A
Scandal in Bohemia' in 1891 and were published monthly for the next
year. 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 magazine. They
included such classic tales as 'The Five Orange Pips' and 'The
Adventure of the Speckled Band', and were gathered together in a
collection known as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, representing
some of the finest detective stories ever written.

Holmes, It has happened again. The strange bearded man on the

turns into something far more sinister.
