Description: Three of the great detective's most singular cases, mentioned tantalizingly briefly in the original narratives, are now presented here in full. The curious disappearance of Mr. Stanislaus Addleton leads Holmes and Watson ultimately to the mysterious "Giant's Hand." What peculiar brand of madness drives Colonel Warburton to repeatedly attack an amiable village vicar? Then there is the murderous tragedy of the Abernetty family, the solving of which hinges on the depth to which the parsley had sunk into the butter on a hot day.
Notes: "Complete and unabridged."
