Description: The hit BBC series Sherlock has introduced a whole new generation of fans to Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective. In this unique collection, Sherlock co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat have selected their all-time favourite Sherlock Holmes adventures, providing readers with a curated masterclass in crime fiction.

Each of these nineteen tales, from Sherlock's first appearance in A Study in Scarlet to the late classic 'The Dying Detective', is a potent mix of murder, suspense, cryptic clues, red herrings and revenge - a ground-breaking combination of forensic science and bold storytelling. Sherlock Holmes established new rules for what a fictional hero could be, and provided a template for detective stories we still follow today.

With introductions by Mark and Steven for each story, this beautifully designed collection is the perfect introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes and the ultimate gift for fans of the show it inspired.
