The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes contains Conan Doyle's last twelve stories about his great fictional detective. Compared with earlier collections these tales are darker, exploring such themes as treachery, mutilation and the terrible consequences of infidelity, and containing such gothic touches as a blood-sucking vampire and crypts at midnight.

The boxed set contains the following volumes: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes; The Case-book of Sherlock Holmes; The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes; The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear; The Return of Sherlock Holmes and his Last Bow; A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four.

A Study in Scarlet introduced the great scientific detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his friend and chronicler, to the reading public. This novel, a cornerstone in the annals of crime fiction, tells of their first meeting and how they set up in rooms together in Baker Street. It is not long before the charismatic sleuth and his faithful companion are plunged into a dramatic mystery which starts with the discovery of a corpse in a deserted house and the letters RACHE scrawled on the wall in blood. The Sign of the Four, the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with one of his greatest challenges — solving the theft of the great Agra treasure in India. In these two classic novels you have the foundation of the Sherlock Holmes legend. As well as his witty and illuminating Afterword to this edition, David Stuart Davies, the illustrious editor of Sherlock magazine, has provided a fascinating chronology of the Sherlock Holmes Stories.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the greatest collection of detective short stories ever written. From his residence at 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes solves a series of baffling and bizarre cases using his inimitable deductive powers, recounted to us by the faithful though sometimes bemused Dr Watson.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of Doyle's best-known Holmes novels, frequently adapted for film and television, which is not surprising given the highly dramatic scenes of mist-wrapped moors echoing to the horrific howls of a supernatural hound. Is this a genuinely devilish apparition or is there a cunning murderer at work? Only Sherlock Holmes can solve the mystery. This volume also contains The Valley of Fear, a dark, powerful tale in which Holmes confronts the evil Professor Moriarty once more.

Sir Charles Baskerville viene trovato morto. Accanto a lui, le impronte di un cane enorme. Molto tempo prima, nel Settecento, anche un antenato della famiglia Baskerville, Sir Hugo, era stato ucciso da un mastino mostruoso nelle paludi di Dartmoor. Sulla famiglia Baskerville sembra essersi abbattuta una sinistra maledizione, e l`unico investigatore in grado di risolvere il mistero del cane omicida e Sherlock Holmes. Con l`aiuto del suo assistente Watson, Sherlock si avventura nelle paludi nebbiose per risolvere un nuovo caso avvincente ma decisamente complesso. Come si fa a trovare il movente di un omicidio se l`assassino e un cane che attacca con furia cieca chiunque si inoltri nelle paludi? Il mastino infernale e davvero terribile o e solo lo strumento di una congiura contro Henry Baskerville? Chi e, in realta, l`omicida disumano, il bestiale serial-killer? La trama moderna e attuale, l`ottima ambientazione nell`Inghilterra vittoriana, il fascino del detective Holmes e il gusto gotico di questo romanzo lo rendono un`opera straordinaria e intramontabile.
