His Last Bow ebook

Gathering seven of Arthur Conan Doyle's later Sherlock Holmes stories, His Last Bow closes with its unforgettable title tale: on the eve of the First World War, Holmes emerges from retirement for one final act of espionage against a German spy network, delivering one of the most quietly chilling closing lines in the entire canon. Along the way, Watson revisits cases involving a dying detective, a wounded engineer, and a devil's-foot poison that nearly claims Holmes's own life. First published in 1917, this collection shows Holmes and Doyle both at the turn of an era.
