Presented here are the third, fourth and fifth books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and short story collections "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," all written by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Collected here are some of the most beloved and revered of Doyle's Holmes stories. This volume includes the classic tale of the deadly and mysterious "hound" that haunts the centuries old Baskerville estate as well as the case of "Silver Blaze" (the missing champion race horse), "The Naval Treaty" (where Holmes must intervene to prevent an international diplomatic catastrophe), as well as the infamous story known as "The Final Problem," where Doyle introduces the character of the Napoleon of Crime - Professor Moriarty - and tells of his battle with Holmes at Reichenbach Falls, leading to the death of Moriarty and - in a plot twist that shocked and horrified his readers - the demise of Sherlock Holmes himself. Or....does it? For both longtime fans and newcomers alike, these stories are the must-read tales of the world's most famous and celebrated literary detective, the one-and-only Sherlock Holmes. These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
