Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, né le 22 mai 1859 et mort le 7 juillet 1930, débute sa vie professionnelle en tant que médecin. C'est pour pallier aux nombres restreintes de visites de son cabinet qu'il commence à écrire. C'est ainsi que, inspiré de son professeur d'université, le célèbre détective Sherlock Holmes est né. Véritable référence dans le genre de la littérature policière, ce personnage excentrique et intellectuellement supérieur se base sur sa mémoire et son formidable esprit d'analyse et de déduction pour résoudre ses passionnantes enquêtes. Sa popularité est telle que, lorsque Conan Doyle décide de le faire mourir pour se consacrer à ses romans historiques, il reçoit énormément de courriers de lecteurs le suppliant de continuer. En tout, le détective apparaît dans 56 nouvelles et 4 romans écrits par l'auteur mais aussi dans de nombreuses œuvres d'autres romanciers. Parmi les histoires les plus populaires, laissez-vous tenter par Les énigmes de Sherlock Holmes ou le très célèbre Le Chien des Baskerville.

Résumé
Since his first appearance in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam Classics presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle's classic hero—a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes's adventures in crime ! Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a haunting novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written.
The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the thrilling "The Adventure of the Red Circle" and the twelve baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle's incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England-of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
