Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, autor legendárních postav Sherlocka Holmese a doktora Watsona a detektivních příběhů s promyšlenou zápletkou z viktoriánské Anglie. Poprvé se Sherlock Holmes objevuje v roce 1887 v příběhu Studie v šarlatové a umírá v roce 1893 společně s profesorem Moriartym. Na nátlak veřejného mínění Doyle vrací detektiva do života v Návratu Sherlocka Holmese s tvrzením, že Sherlock Holmes umí převézt i smrt.Jedinečné líčení atmosféry tajemství a děsu z událostí, které se zprvu vzpírají logickému chápání, činí z Psa baskervillského nejslavnější Doylův detektivní román. Sám autor detektivek a Doylův životopisec John Dickinson Carr napsal, že je to "jediná z holmesovských povídek, ať už dlouhých nebo krátkých, v níž je Holmes podřízen příběhu a nikoli příběh Holmesovi; co na ní čtenáře uchvacuje, není ani tak viktoriánský detektiv, jako spíš tajuplnost gotického románu".

Here are the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle as they first appeared in the famed British magazine The Strand.

"At that first sight of Watson, Sherlock Holmes made brilliant deductions. But even he couldn't know that their meeting was inaugurating a friendship that would make himself and the good Doctor cultural icons, as popular as ever more than a century after their 1887 debut. Through four novels and fifty-six stories, Arthur Conan Doyle led the pair through dramatic adventures that continue to thrill readers today, offering an unmatched combination of skillful plotting, period detail, humor, and distinctive characters. For a Holmes fan, there are few pleasures comparable to returning to his richly imagined world--the gaslit streets of Victorian London, the companionable clutter of 221B Baker Street, the reliable fuddlement (and nerves of steel) of Watson, the perverse genius of Holmes himself. It's all there in The Daily Sherlock Holmes, the perfect bedside companion for fans of the world's only consulting detective. Within these pages readers will find a quotation for every day of the year, drawn from across the Conan Doyle canon. Beloved characters and familiar lines recall favorite stories and scenes, while other passages remind us that Conan Doyle had a way with description and a ready wit. Moriarty and Mycroft, Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson; the Hound, the Red-Headed League, the Speckled Band, and the dread Reichenbach Falls--it's all here, anchored, of course, in that unforgettable duo of Holmes and Watson."-- Amazon.com

"The untold story of Sherlock Holmes' greatest rival, Moriarty! Before he was Sherlock's rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control--will Moriarty's dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero...or a monster? In the late 19th century, Great Britain rules over a quarter of the world. Nobles sit in their fancy homes in comfort and luxury, while the working class slaves away at their jobs. When young Albert James Moriarty's upper-class family adopts two lower-class orphans, the cruelty the boys experience at his family's hands cements Albert's hatred of the nobility he was born into. He asks the older of the two boys--who has a genius mind and a killer instinct--to help him rid the world of evil, starting with Albert's own family!"--Publisher description
