Featuring seven tales from Holmes and Watson's adventures, this volume includes a preface from the detective's loyal companion updating the reader on Holmes' health and whereabouts. The short stories see the famous duo working together to solve a series of bizarre and mysterious cases, culminating in a third-person spy narrative chronicling Holmes' contribution to the war effort. Perfectly concluding the incredible Sherlock Holmes series, this volume is an essential read for fans of the pipe-smoking sleuth.
