The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes #8 (Full Text)

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

The last twelve stories written about Holmes and Watson, these tales reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s in which they were written. Some of the sharpest turns of wit in English literature are contrasted by dark images of psychological tragedy, suicide, and incest in a collection of tales that have haunted generations of readers.
