About the book

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes, which was the premier set of twelve stories that brought to light the amazingly talented and sure handed Sherlock Holmes. No case is too challenging for this dubious detective as he unfolds the clues and solves the riddles found around every corner, under every rock, and beneath ever hidden surface. There is no code that he can't crack nor riddle he can't break in order to find the answer to the crimes that he attempts to solve. He is able to unmask every villain he faces by using his pure genius tactics, scientific rationale, and logical reasoning behind every incident that has taken place. Justice is never too far away for the victims that come to Holmes for help.Sit back and enjoy the ride as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presents you with the following 12 breath taking mysteries:A Scandal in BohemiaThe Adventure of the Red-Headed LeagueA Case of IdentityThe Boscombe Valley MysteryThe Five Orange PipsThe Man with the Twisted LipThe Adventure of the Blue CarbuncleThe Adventure of the Speckled BandThe Adventure of the Engineer's ThumbThe Adventure of the Noble BachelorThe Adventure of the Beryl CoronetThe Adventure of the Copper Beeches
