Summary
Summary
Conan Doyle presents a series of cases which baffle the police but are no match for Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion Dr. Watson.
In “The Adventures of Black Peter,” the peace of rural Sussex is disturbed by the discovery of a seafarer’s body pinned to the wall of his hut with a harpoon.
In “The Golden Pince-Nez,” a young man is found dead clutching a pair of spectacles—yet he had perfect eyesight. Who is the short-sighted murderer?
In “The Missing Three-Quarter,” Holmes takes on a novel case when a rugby player goes missing the day before a major University match.
A woman tied to a chair; her husband clubbed to death with a poker, a case of robbery with violence? But all is not what it seems in the case of “The Abbey Grange.”
The series ends with “The Second Stain,” where a top secret document that could lead Britain into war goes missing. Holmes is put to the test to save his country as well as his reputation.
Author
Author Bio: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a writer and physician most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, the first scientific detective, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Before becoming a writer, he attended the University of Edinburgh to train as a physician, and it was from his teacher, Joseph Bell, that he learned much of what would inspire Holmes’s skills of deduction. He also wrote science fiction stories, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and nonfiction. After his son Kingsley died in the first World War, he became a convert to spiritualism and a social reformer who used his investigative skills to prove the innocence of individuals.
