Enjoy the very best of classic crime writing with three stories from Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of master detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr Watson.

In 'The Speckled Band', Holmes and Watson race against time to save a vulnerable young woman from the evil which lurks in her own home. A man's generous but bizarre last request causes chaos and confusion in 'The Three Garridebs'. In 'The Dying Detective', Sherlock Holmes shows once again that London's most devious criminal minds are no match for his powers of reason.

This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks the 10th anniversary of Macmillan Collector's Library. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.

Über den Autor
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. He trained to be a doctor at Edinburgh University and eventually set up a medical practice in Southsea. During the quiet periods between patients, he turned his hand to writing, producing historical novels such as Micah Clarke and adventure yarns including The Lost World, as well as four novels and fifty-six stories involving his most celebrated creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Doyle was knighted in 1902. In later life he devoted much of his time to his belief in Spiritualism, using his writing and celebrity as a means of providing funds to support activities in this field. He died in 1930.
