The Speckled Band
ByPublisher Description
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 Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James, Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.
