Elementar, mein lieber Watson!

Sherlock Holmes is, alongside Maigret and Poirot, the most famous detective in world literature. His creator made the master detective from London a millionaire, but also a slave. When Arthur Conan Doyle had enough of Holmes and killed him off in 1893 in "The Final Problem" to finally have time for other books, the outcry from readers was so loud that the writer had to resurrect his hero to find peace. Thus, the Sherlock Holmes canon grew to four novels and 56 short stories – far too few for true fans! Fortunately, writers have continually devised new cases for the brilliant detective from 221B Baker Street. This book gathers the best stories from world-renowned authors Stephen King, Anthony Horowitz, Alan Bradley, and Anne Perry, as well as German Holmes specialists Peter Jackob and Klaus-Peter Walter.
