Synopsis

This unique collection of Sherlock Holmes stories features the master detective in three fascinating cryptographic mysteries.

Join the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes, as he solves some of the most challenging code-breaking cases in this thrilling collection of three stories. From deciphering ancient rituals to cracking cryptic messages, Holmes uses his exceptional skills and razor-sharp mind to unravel the mysteries before him. In ‘The “Gloria Scott”’ (1893), Holmes sets out to solve a mystery surrounding a shipwreck and a cryptic message. ‘The Musgrave Ritual’ (1893) sees the detective investigating a centuries-old riddle and unlocking the secrets of a noble family. And in ‘The Dancing Men’ (1903), Holmes must decipher a series of mysterious symbols that hold the key to a young woman’s mysterious past.

With fast-paced action and gripping suspense, this collection provides a glimpse into the detective's extraordinary methods and showcases his ability to tackle complex cases with ease. This new edition from Read & Co. Books features the original illustrations by Sidney Paget and a specially commissioned introduction.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These early works by Arthur Conan Doyle were originally published in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and we are now republishing them with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Sherlock Holmes series. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
