В книге вы можете прочитать последние двенадцать рассказов, которые сэр Артур Конан Дойл написал о своем блестящем детективе. Они, пожалуй, самые необычные и мрачные из всех, что он написал. Предательство, увечья и ужасные последствия неверности - лишь некоторые из тем, исследуемых в этих историях, наряду с атмосферными штрихами готики, включающими вампира-кровососа, полуночные склепы и странные кости в печи. В сборнике "Его последний поклон" представлены некоторые из самых драматичных дел Шерлока Холмса, включая жестокую интригу мести, связанную с "Красным кругом", и коварные убийства в "Ноге дьявола". В заглавной истории рассказывается о том, как Шерлока Холмса возвращают из отставки, чтобы помочь правительству раскрыть немецкий заговор накануне Первой мировой войны.Эти две увлекательные серии историй - великолепное прощание с величайшим детективом из всех и его бывшим компаньоном доктором Ватсоном.

‘Surely no man would take up my profession if it were not that danger attracts him.’
In The Casebook, you can read the final twelve stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. They are perhaps the most unusual and the darkest that he penned. Treachery, mutilation and the terrible consequences of infidelity are just some of the themes explored in these stories, along with atmospheric touches of the gothic, involving a bloodsucking vampire, crypts at midnight and strange bones in a furnace. The collection His Last Bow features some of Sherlock Holmes’ most dramatic cases, including the vicious revenge intrigue connected with ‘The Red Circle’ and the insidious murders in ‘The Devil’s Foot’. The title story recounts how Sherlock Holmes is brought out of retirement to help the government foil a German plot on the eve of the First World War.These two fascinating sets of stories make a glorious farewell to the greatest detective of them all and his erstwhile companion, Dr Watson.
