Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales are rightly ranked among the seminal works of mystery and detective fiction. Included in this collection are all four full-length Holmes novels and more than forty short masterpieces - from the inaugural adventure A Study in Scarlet to timeless favorites like “The Speckled Band” and more. At the center of each stands the iconic figure of Holmes - brilliant, eccentric, and capable of amazing feats of deductive reasoning.

Sir Charles Baskerville is dead. His body was discovered on the grounds of his Devonshire estate, face frozen in fright, not far from the footprints of a large beast. The cause of death has been determined to be a heart attack, but family legend tells another tale, and Detective Sherlock Holmes is determined to uncover the truth.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate the legend of a supernatural hound, a beast that may be stalking a young heir on the fog-shrouded moorland that makes up his estate. The best of the Holmes novels!

Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate.

A colonel receives five seeds in the mail---and dies within weeks. A young bride disappears immediately after her wedding. An old hat and a Christmas goose are the only clues to a stolen jewel. A son is accused of his father's murder. These mysteries---and many more---are brought to the house on Baker Street where detective Sherlock Holmes resides. No case is too tricky for the world's most famous sleuth and his incredible powers of deduction.

Brought to you by Penguin. The terrible spectacle of the beast, the fog of the moor, the discovery of a body: this classic horror story pits detective against dog. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland with the footprints of a giant hound nearby, the blame is...

Herbst 1930. Sherlock Holmes, 76 Jahre alt, wohnt immer noch in der Baker Street. Jedoch verbringt er seine Tage zu gedröhnt in seinem Lieblingssessel und sinniert vor sich hin. Bis ihn eines Tages die Schlagzeilen aus seiner Lethargie reißen. „3. Opfer gemetzelt und ausgeweidet! Jack the Ripper zurück?“ Unterstützung erhält er von Eddy, dem liebenswürdigen, jedoch denkfaulen Mann seiner neuen Vermieterin Alice.

Als die Londoner Polizei eine Leiche aus der Themse zieht, sind Identität und Hintergründe zunächst unklar. Sherlock Holmes findet jedoch einen Zusammenhang mit einer überaus prominenten Baustelle flussaufwärts.
