Originally published in 1903—1904, The Return of Sherlock Holmes is the thirteen-story collection of one of the greatest-ever fictional detectives. Three years after the supposed death of Sherlock Holmes and his archenemy Professor Moriarty in the torrent of Reichenbach Falls, Holmes makes a disguised surprise reappearance to Baker Street and his good friend Dr Watson, after his hotly debated 'Great Hiatus'.
Featuring one of Holmes' greatest adversaries, Charles Augustus Milverton, as well as traderhuirk astute logic, forensic science, murder, crytograms and magic, this collection retains all the hallmark brilliance of Arthur Conan Doyle's best work.
