The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes ebook

The last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, first published in 1927, gathers twelve cases that close the canon: The Illustrious Client, The Blanched Soldier, The Mazarin Stone, The Three Gables, The Sussex Vampire, The Three Garridebs, Thor Bridge, The Creeping Man, The Lion's Mane, The Veiled Lodger, Shoscombe Old Place, and The Retired Colourman. Written across the disillusioned aftermath of the First World War, these tales carry a sharper, darker edge than the earlier adventures — blackmail, vampirism (real or imagined), psychological horror, and a detective nearing the end of his career but never his powers of deduction. A fitting, haunting farewell to Baker Street.
