The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

An Apple Books Classic edition.<br /><br />Many of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most brilliant and complex mysteries starring his indelible detective Sherlock Holmes can be found in this superb collection of short stories.<br /><br />In twelve richly textured tales, we find Holmes and Watson investigating an aristocratic family’s odd, esoteric rituals, a nondescript box containing a grisly severed appendage, and the theft of a vitally important military treaty. We’re even treated to the only story in which the cunning Holmes’ conclusion about a case proves to be wrong.<br /><br />Originally published in <i>The Strand Magazine</i>, these stories include the first appearances by foundational characters like Holmes’ enigmatically brilliant brother Mycroft and the villainous Professor Moriarty. Densely packed and thrillingly paced, this is a trove of exemplary mystery writing.
