Ulverscroft Softcover

THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES is a series of stories in which the great detective uses his superior deductive powers. In THE RED-HEADED LEAGUE, Holmes finds that an unusually large amount of gold Napoleons are the reason a group of thieves express a keen interest in a particular bank. Whereas, in THE ADVENTURE OF THE SPECKLED BAND, a young woman's sister dies suspiciously - her last words: 'it was...the speckled band'. Holmes deduces what the 'speckled band' is and, in his inimitable way, penetrates many other mysterious, strange and sometimes frightening events.

The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes

DOYLE, ARTHUR CONAN

The stories in MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES relate how the famous detective investigates the criminal goings on in Victorian England. In SILVER BLAZE, Holmes contemplates a case of murder, and the disappearance of the eponymous racehorse, Silver Blaze, on the eve of an important race. And in THE CROOKED MAN, Holmes invites Watson to be a witness to the final stage of an investigation, where a Colonel of The Royal Mallows is dead, apparently by violence, his wife Nancy, the prime suspect. In every case story, the great detective's mind is more than a match for the miscreant's.
