About this ebook

En 1891, à l'issue d'un combat mortel avec son ennemi de toujours, le professeur Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes disparaît et tout le monde le croit mort. Mais, trois ans plus tard, sous la pression conjointe de ses lecteurs et de son éditeur, Conan Doyle se voit contraint de le "ressusciter" ! C'est dans "La maison vide", la première des treize nouvelles de ce recueil - dans laquelle Holmes découvrira qui a assassiné l'honorable Ronald Adair - , qu'on apprend de la bouche même du fameux détective comment il a pu réchapper d'une mort certaine... Et, comme il se doit, nous devons à l'excellent Watson le récit de ces affaires palpitantes : "La maison vide", "L'entrepreneur de Norwood", "Les hommes dansants", "La cycliste solitaire", "L'école du prieuré", "Peter le noir", "Charles-Auguste Milverton", "Les six Napoléons", "Les trois étudiants", "Le pince-nez en or", "Un trois-quarts a été perdu !", "Le manoir de l'abbaye", "La deuxième tache".

About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 - 7 July 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian 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", helped to popularise the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
