Der har længe været stille i Baker Street 221B, og dr. John Watson har fortvivlet set til, mens hans gode ven og bofælle, Sherlock Holmes, er sunket ned i kedsomhed og brugen af stimulanser. Men endelig en dag lysner situationen: En smuk, ung dame ved navn miss Morstan henvender sig med en højst besynderlig sag.Hendes far forsvandt under mystiske omstændigheder for 10 år siden, kort efter sin hjemkomst fra Indien, og 4 år senere begyndte hun hvert år at modtage en kostbar perle med posten – uden nogen forklaring. Nu har hun imidlertid fået et brev, hvori hun inviteres til at møde sin ukendte velgører.Holmes og Watson tilbyder at ledsage hende, og snart hvirvles de ind i en dramatisk og gruopvækkende historie om en gammel indisk skat, om mord, svig og hævn og om en mystisk pagt mellem fire mænd, hvis ildevarslende tegn dukker op igen og igen, efterhånden som mesterdetektiven og hans ven trænger længere ind i mysteriets dystre mørke.Den nye komplette Sherlock Holmes-udgave består af ni bind svarende til de ni originale bøger. Bøgerne er forsynet med forord og noter og udstyret med originalillustrationer. Udgivelsen sker under vejledning af cand.mag. Svend Ranild, forfatter og Sherlock Holmes-kender.Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) var uddannet læge, men begyndte tidligt at skrive og forlod efterhånden lægegerningen helt til fordel for forfatterkarrieren. Doyle skrev i mange genrer – historiske romaner, science-fiction, eventyrromaner og nonfiktion – men det var historierne om mesterdetektiven Sherlock Holmes, der slog hans navn fast ogblev hans eviggyldige bidrag til verdenslitteraturhistorien.

Denne Sherlock Holmes-roman blev bestilt i 1890 af "Lippincott’s" Magazine. Det er her, Watson taber sit hjerte til sin kommende hustru, Mary Morstan, da den unge guvernante kommer til Holmes med en bøn om at finde hendes forsvundne far. Fire år efter faderens mystiske forsvinden havde Miss Morstan modtaget en anonym gave, en stor prægtig perle. Siden havde hun fået en ny perle hvert år, uden at ane, hvem afsenderen var. Den dag, hun besøgte Baker Street 221 B, havde hun fået besked om at møde hendes ukendte velgører uden for Lyceum Teater samme aften. Mødet finder sted, og efterhånden som Holmes udreder flere og flere af de indviklede spor, viser Agra-perlerne sig at stå i forbindelse med et uhyggeligt mord og falskneri, der begynder med den indiske opstand og slutter med en nervepirrende natlig jagt på Themsen langs Londons dokker.

The Adventure of the Red Circle is a classic Sherlock Holmes short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. "Well, Mrs. Warren, I cannot see that you have any particular cause for uneasiness, nor do I understand why I, whose time is of some value, should interfere in the matter. I really have other things to engage me." So spoke Sherlock Holmes and turned back to the great scrapbook in which he was arranging and indexing some of his recent material.

The Adventure of the Devil's Foot is a classic Sherlock Holmes short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In recording from time to time some of the curious experiences and interesting recollections which I associate with my long and intimate friendship with Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I have continually been faced by difficulties caused by his own aversion to publicity. To his sombre and cynical spirit all popular applause was always abhorrent, and nothing amused him more at the end of a successful case than to hand over the actual exposure to some orthodox official, and to listen with a mocking smile to the general chorus of misplaced congratulation.

A fearsome creature stalks the wild and barren hills of Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country. Is it a demon from the spirit world? Will it defeat their skill and courage? Who is the tall, mysterious figure seen lurking on the moor at night? The story is inspired by the legend of a horrifying hound of supernatural origin which was said to persecute all members of the Baskerville family from generation to generation. Can Holmes save the new owner of Baskerville Hall from the ancient family curse or will the hound claim yet another victim?

He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer and his other works included fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. In order to deflect publishers' demands for more Holmes stories, he raised his price intending to discourage them, but found they were willing to pay even the large sums he asked. As a result, he became one of the best-paid authors of his time.

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In choosing a few typical cases which illustrate the remarkable mental qualities of my friend, Sherlock Holmes, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to select those which presented the minimum of sensationalism, while offering a fair field for his talents. It is, however, unfortunately impossible entirely to separate the sensational from the criminal, and a chronicler is left in the dilemma that he must either sacrifice details which are essential to his statement and so give a false impression of the problem, or he must use matter which chance, and not choice, has provided him with. With this short preface I shall turn to my notes of what proved to be a strange, though a peculiarly terrible, chain of events.

This is an account of the wanderings of a spiritualist, geographical and speculative. Should the reader have no interest in psychic things--if indeed any human being can be so foolish as not to be interested in his own nature and fate, --then this is the place to put the book down. It were better also to end the matter now if you have no patience with a go-as-you-please style of narrative, which founds itself upon the conviction that thought may be as interesting as action, and which is bound by its very nature to be intensely personal

The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans is a classic Sherlock Holmes short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the third week of November, in the year 1895, a dense yellow fog settled down upon London. From the Monday to the Thursday I doubt whether it was ever possible from our windows in Baker Street to see the loom of the opposite houses. The first day Holmes had spent in cross-indexing his huge book of references. The second and third had been patiently occupied upon a subject which he hand recently made his hobby--the music of the Middle Ages.
