The case-book of Sherlock Holmes
The last twelve Sherlock Holmes stories, written between 1921 and 1927 and collected in the latter year with a preface in which Conan Doyle bids his detective a final goodbye. They include The Illustrious Client, The Sussex Vampire, The Problem of Thor Bridge, The Three Garridebs, in which Watson is wounded and sees what Holmes feels for him, and two stories narrated by Holmes himself, The Blanched Soldier and The Lion's Mane, the latter set in his Sussex retirement. The tone is darker and more varied than in the earlier collections, with glimpses of drugs, disfigurement and the grotesque that some readers prize and others find out of character. The stories are available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first one is free.
