A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

The hit BBC series Sherlock has introduced a new generation to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective. This edition of the classic novel, with an introduction by Sherlock writer Steve Thompson, allows fans to discover the power of those original adventures.

In this collection of eleven Sherlock Holmes stories, the detective tackles cases ranging from missing race horses to stolen naval treaties; but nothing can prepare him for the challenge of 'The Final Problem' in which Dr Watson takes up his pen 'with a heavy heart' to tell the story of Holmes's most dramatic encounter with his nemesis, the criminal mastermind Professor Moriaty.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Race fixing and murder are on the cards in ‘Silver Blaze’ as the brilliant and quirky Sherlock Holmes sifts his way through a vast array of alternative suspects and motives to uncover the real killer of John Stroker. Then, in ‘The Naval Treaty’, Holmes is seen to embark upon a rare foray into affairs of state. But it is the last story in the collection, ‘The Final Problem’, that is the most chilling. The hitherto invincible sleuth finally meets his nemesis, arch-villain Professor Moriarty, in the tragic showdown at the Reichenbach Falls.
