The Case-Book Of Sherlock Holmes
The Sherlock Holmes Collected Edition
With an Introduction by C. P. Snow

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

THE CASE-BOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

This is the last, and in some ways most bizarre collection of cases to be published. It appeared originally in 1927 and contains some early Holmes, as well as 'Shoscombe Old Place', the last story Conan Doyle ever wrote a strangely unproclaimed finale after so many threats that he was finished with the Baker Street detective.

Holmes is challenged to prize the affections of a beautiful, royally connected young woman from a villainous Austrian Baron, who will go to any lengths to secure his power over her - a commission which not only calls upon Holmes's deductive powers, but reveals his rarely seen affectionate nature. And how is the eminently rational Holmes to refute the preposterous suggestion of vampires when a mother has unquestionably been witnessed biting at the neck of her baby, her own mouth covered with blood? Crypts at midnight, bones in the furnace, asphyxiation in the vault The Case-Book is impregnated with the grotesque, which Holmes always maintains is but one step away from the horrible.
