Description: In 1886, Arthur Conan Doyle, M.D., created a character who would come to be known as the greatest sleuth of all time, a character of such cold, rational perfection, such steely nerve, such unprecedented brilliance and unfailing popularity that he would ultimately resist death at the hands of his own creator. This character, of course, was Sherlock Holmes, the world's first unofficial consulting detective.

Today, over 100 years after the master sleuth's first appear- ance, Holmes aficionados and novices alike will delight in this special Quality Paperback Book Club presentation of his remarkable adventures.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes collects 12 of the great detective's most popular and fascinating cases. From "The Red-Headed League," which provides ample proof for Holmes' claim that "the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be," to "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," a chilling tale that features a most unusual murder weapon, the stories in Adventures of Sherlock Holmes never fail to fascinate and satisfy.
