Sherlock Holmes: In His Own Words and in the Words of Those Who Knew Him
by Barry DayA delightful biography of Sherlock Holmes that draws on quotations from Dr. Watson More has been written about Sherlock Holmes in a century than was written about Shakespeare in four. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective that long after his last bow, devotees of Baker Street have continued to produce stories, films, and television works based on the life of Sherlock Holmes. Nothing new can match the brilliant intensity of the original, however, and so Barry Day has produced this invaluable biography of Holmes, drawn from the words of the man who knew him best: Dr. John Watson. From their first days at 221B Baker Street to the tragedy at the Reichenbach Falls, and continuing on after Holmes's glorious resurrection and retirement, Day compiles every detail given in the original stories about the life of the great detective, hoping to solve the most baffling mystery of all: What sort of man was Sherlock Holmes?

Sherlock Holmes: La raccolta completa Satyr Volume 1
by Pennie Mae CartawickDieci avvincenti racconti di Sherlock Holmes riuniti in un solo libro. VOLUME UNO RACCONTO N. 1 Il gioco del gatto con il topo L’interno dell’edificio era buio e nessuno di noi cercò una lampada o un interruttore. Udimmo un ticchettare di un orologio o qualcosa del genere. Il rumore di un rubinetto che perdeva da qualche parte risuonava come un martello su un’incudine. Si udiva il nostro respiro, ma mi sembrava che il cuore facesse più rumore. RACCONTO N. 2 Il mistero della sposa senza volto La sposa non aveva rose marce, ma il suo abito nuziale era lacero e bruciato. Le sue gambe nude, sottili come aghi, barcollavano scompostamente. Il velo pendeva sul viso. Avevo la pistola, ma non potevo sparare. Il suo viso! Anche nell’oscurità potevo vederne il disfacimento. RACCONTO N. 3 Il caso dello specchio crepato Disse di avere visto uno scheletro che indossava una giacca a coda di rondine. Ero molto preoccupato per la giovane donna scomparsa. Se era stata rapita dal fantasma dell’opera, vuoi essere umano o spirito, come se la sarebbe cavata se avesse rifiutato il suo ‘amore’? RACCONTO N. 4 Lo strano caso della donna sui binari Jane strillò sentendo questo ulteriore tradimento e si avventò su Henry. Cominciarono a lottare. Henry era ovviamente il più forte dei due, ma il dolore della donna era inarrestabile. Lui le strinse la gola e Jane gli artigliò il viso sino a quando cadde per terra. Abbassò lo sguardo sul corpo di Jane. RACCONTO N. 5 La maledizione di un nativo Adams aveva schiaffeggiato Kimilu così violentemente che era finito per terra. Il giovane solitamente umile si alzò e con rabbia rispose nella sua lingua nativa, lingua che Adams non comprendeva. Però Butler viveva in Africa da oltre vent’anni e aveva compreso ogni parola. Era a dir poco agghiacciante. RACCONTO N. 6 Il mistero della tomba avvelenata “Ah, buongiorno John! Se non ci affrettiamo, ci perderemo lo scoprimento del sarcofago”. Si alzò,

Sherlock Holmes: The American Years
by Michael KurlandA compelling volume of original tales concerning Sherlock Holmes' legendary time in America With an introduction by Leslie S. Klinger, editor and compiler of all three volumes of the Annotated Sherlock Holmes, this collection of ten original stories brings light to one of the least examined periods in the life of the great detective—his time in the former colonies, the United States.

In Richard Lupoff 's "Inga Sigerson Weds," he's come to America to represent the family at his sister's wedding. In "My Silk Umbrella," Mark Twain narrates his fateful encounter with Holmes at a baseball game in Hartford, Connecticut; Steve Hockensmith narrates the meeting of the young William Gillette and the object of his later, most famous turn upon the stage; and Peter Tremayne reveals the intersection of Holmes and the Irish in the 19th century American midwestern landscape. With further stories by Marta Randall, Rhys Bowen, Peter Beagle, and others, the legend, the mythology and even the history of the world's greatest detective is further enhanced by these charming, clever and mystifying tales.
