The Speckled Band - Arthur Conan Doyle

Enjoy the very best of classic crime writing with three stories from Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of master detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr Watson. In `The Speckled Band', Holmes and Watson race against time to save a vulnerable young woman from the evil which lurks in her own home. A man's generous but bizarre last request causes chaos and confusion in `The Three Garridebs'. In `The Dying Detective', Sherlock Holmes shows once again that London's most devious criminal minds are no match for his powers of reason. This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks the 10th anniversary of Macmillan Collector's Library. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.
