书籍简介

“如果不是因为危险吸引了他，肯定没有人会从事我的职业。”在《事件簿》中，你可以读到阿瑟·柯南道尔爵士写的关于他的杰出侦探的最后12个故事。这些故事也许是他写的最不寻常和最黑暗的故事。背叛、残害和不忠的可怕后果只是这些故事中探讨的一些主题，还有哥特式的氛围，涉及吸血的吸血鬼、午夜的墓穴和火炉中的奇怪骨头。《他最后一次鞠躬》这本小说集收录了夏洛克-福尔摩斯的一些z具戏剧性的案件，包括与《红圈会》有关的恶性复仇阴谋和《魔鬼之足》中的阴险谋杀。标题故事讲述了夏洛克·福尔摩斯如何在第一次世界大战前夕从退休状态中走出来，帮助政府挫败德国人的阴谋。这两套引人入胜的故事为这位伟大的侦探和他昔日的伙伴华生医生做了一次光荣的告别。

'Surely no man would take up my profession if it were not that danger attracts him.' In The Casebook, you can read the final twelve stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. They are perhaps the most unusual and the darkest that he penned. Treachery, mutilation and the terrible consequences of infidelity are just some of the themes explored in these stories, along with atmospheric touches of the gothic, involving a bloodsucking vampire, crypts at midnight and strange bones in a furnace. The collection His Last Bow features some of Sherlock Holmes' most dramatic cases, including the vicious revenge intrigue connected with 'The Red Circle' and the insidious murders in 'The Devil's Foot'. The title story recounts how Sherlock Holmes is brought out of retirement to help the government foil a German plot on the eve of the First World War.These two fascinating sets of stories make a glorious farewell to the greatest detective of them all and his erstwhile companion, Dr Watson.

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle KStJ DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer; other than Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
