Illustrated by
Scott McKowen.
Two Sherlock Holmes story collections are published in one large volume featuring elegant scratchboard drawings and a ribbon bookmark. These twenty-three classic mysteries--including "The Final Problem," in which Doyle infamously killed off his protagonist--will challenge young detectives' own powers of deduction. The book concludes with a section containing relevant open-ended questions ("Why does Watson tell the stories instead of Holmes?").
