The Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle1930

Sherlock Holmes is not only the most famous character in crime fiction, but arguably the most famous in all fiction.

In sixty adventures that pit his extraordinary wits and courage against foreign spies, blackmailers, cultists, petty thieves, murderers, swindlers, policemen (both stupid and clever) and his arch-nemesis Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes, together with his faithful sidekick Doctor John H. Watson, proves himself to be not only the quintessential detective but also the most engaging and entertaining company any reader could ask for.
