His Last Bow

A
mysterious murder near Esher, a gruesome delivery of two human ears packed in
coarse salt, the disappearance of secret submarine plans, the sudden descent
into madness of two brothers - these are only some of the apparently
unsolvable cases contained in this volume, which the great sleuth, assisted
by his trusted friend Doctor Watson, is challenged to clear up with the aid
of his sagacity and unrivalled analytical skills.

Published a quarter of a century after the first book of Holmes adventures,
and including the famous titular story ‘His Last Bow: The War Service of
Sherlock Holmes’, this collection shows the detective’s powers of deduction
at their most dazzling, proving that Conan Doyle’s ability to entertain and
surprise remain undiminished.
