Originally published in 1892, this is the first and best collection of stories about the legendary sleuth.Featured tales include several of the author’s personal favorites : ’A Scandal in Bohemia’ - in which a king is blackmailed by a former lover and Holmes matches wits with the only woman to attract his open admiration - plus ’The Speckled Band,’ ’The Red-Headed League,’ and ’The Five Orange Pips.’ Additional mysteries include ’The Blue Carbuncle,’ ’The Engineer’s Thumb,’ ’The Beryl Coronet,’ ’The Copper Beeches,’ and four others.
