SHERLOCK HOLMES VOLUME ONE

volume i includes the novels and stories that introduced the brilliant and unflappable sherlock holmes and his partner, dr. watson, to the world. a study in scarlet is a drama of long-simmering revenge that ranges from the fog-bound streets of london to the pioneer settlements of utah. the sign of four weaves together a stolen treasure from india, poison darts, and double-crossing thieves, while the hound of the baskervilles sets the legend of a diabolical hellhound and an old family curse against the backdrop of a moonlit moor. the short stories in this volume include such favorites as “a scandal in bohemia,” “the red-headed league,” “the adventure of the speckled band,” and “the final problem,” tales that have thrilled generations of readers with holmes’s astounding powers of deduction.
