Description
This 1904 collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures was a revival of the character after his supposed death in 'The Final Problem'. In the first story, 'The Adventure of the Empty House', Sherlock reappears in London and meets his friend to tell him how he had pushed Moriarty off the ledge in Switzerland, and then escaped fatal attacks at the hands of Moriarty's still loyal henchmen. He had been travelling around the world with help from his brother Mycroft to evade death at home. Watson accompanies Sherlock to cleverly thwart another attempt at his life, and also solve a murder Watson had helped in investigating earlier. The other stories continue their crime-solving exploits - A husband feels threatened by the wife's' past life when they start receiving strange messages from the United States in 'The Dancing Men' and a murder reveals an unknown guest in the house of a Professor in 'The Golden Pince-Nez'.
