THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth . Sherlock Holmes, scourge of criminals everywhere, whether they be lurking in London s foggy backstreets or plotting behind the walls of an idyllic country mansion, and his faithful colleague Dr Watson solve twelve breathtaking and perplexing mysteries. In The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes , the first collection of the great consulting detective s cases, we encounter some of his most famous and devilishly difficult problems, including A Scandal in Bohemia , The Speckled Band , The Red-Headed League , The Blue Carbuncle , The Five Orange Pips and The Man with the Twisted Lip .
