The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Sherlock Holmes's confrontation with Professor Moriarty sees a clash between the master of detection and the evil genius of crime - where a dramatic outcome is inevitable. However, not all the investigations undertaken by Holmes and his faithful companion Dr Watson have such deadly significance. The eleven cases recorded in this collection include the mysterious fate of a missing racehorse, where the owner's condescending attitude to Holmes soon turns to admiration and surprise. International espionage also features - Holmes and Watson have to avert a diplomatic disaster when a secret Naval treaty is stolen - and some heart-rending personal tragedies are resolved with Holmes's customary analytical brilliance. The relationship between Holmes and Watson is normally characterized by the reserve typical of the late Victorian gentleman, but in this collection we also see a rare touch of emotion as the two friends prepare for the worst that can befall them. Fortunately for his many admirers, this is not the last we hear from the iconic investigator.
