Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holmes reads the telegram requesting consultation in a fresh murder case. He is reluctant to help because credit would go entirely to the officials. Watson urges him to reconsider so Holmes invites him to accompany him as he investigates the crime scene, an abandoned house off the Brixton Road. Holmes observes the pavement and garden leading up to the house before he and Watson meet Inspectors Gregson and Lestrade. The four observe the crime scene, Holmes using a magnifying lens and tape measure. The male corpse, he's told, has been identified as Enoch Drebber. Blood has been found in the room but there is no wound on the body. They also learn from documents found on his person that he was in London with his secretary, Joseph Stangerson.On one wall, written in blood, is "RACHE".Au n° 3 de Lauriston Gardens près de Londres, dans une maison vide, un homme est trouvé mort. Assassiné ? Aucune blessure apparente ne permet de le dire, en dépit des taches de sang qui maculent la pièce. Sur le mur, griffonnée à la hâte, une inscription : » Rache ! « . Vengeance ! en allemand. Vingt ans plus tôt, en 1860, dans les gorges de la Nevada, en Utah, Jean Ferrier est exécuté par des mormons sanguinaires chargés de faire respecter la loi du prophète. Sa fille, Lucie, est séquestrée dans le harem du fils de l'Ancien. Quel lien entre ces deux événements aussi insolites que tragiques ? Un fil ténu, un fil rouge que seul Sherlock Holmes est capable de dérouler. Une intrigue toute en subtilités où, pour la première fois, Watson découvre le maître.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherlock Holmes needs no introduction. His legacy on the page and on the screen, both big and small, make him one of the best-known characters of all time, on par with Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, and Dracula. The trope of the brilliant but difficult genius accompanied by a kind but somewhat bumbling sidekick has become one of the most enduring in all media, from the many iterations of Holmes himself to less easily recognizable versions such as TV's Dr. House or the Japanese Manga Case Closed. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Scotland to an Irish Catholic family. He trained as a doctor, like his fictional narrator Dr. Watson, but unlike his character, Doyle was not a particularly successful physician. While waiting for patients, Doyle began to write short stories, and in 1887 he published his first novel, A Study in Scarlet, featuring Sherlock Holmes for the first time. The novel catapulted Doyle to fame and fortune, and he immediately received a commission for the second novel, The Sign of Four. The Sign of Four features Holmes dealing with the outcome of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the larger colonial background of Victorian Britain. Doyle focused more on Holmes's human side in this text, making him more sympathetic, but also showing his flaws, most notably his drug habits. We also meet Mary Morstan, the future Mrs. Watson, for the first time in this novel. Although it is not considered to be the best of Doyle's works, The Sign of Four shows growth in Doyle's writing, his deeper characterization of both Holmes and Watson, and his expanding Holmesian universe. Despite its flaws, it remains indispensable reading for anyone interested in Holmes, and for any reader looking for a rollicking detective story.
Download or read book The Complete Illustrated Novels of Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Novels of Sherlock Holmes includes A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear. Included are illustrations by Sidney Paget, George Hutchinson, James Greig & Charles Kerr. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including a knack at cracking ciphers, an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases involving kidnapping, murder and revenge. Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation, and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.
