His Last Bow is the final collection of thrilling short stories in the chronology of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes’ series, set on the precipice of the First World War.
Featuring seven tales from Holmes and Watson’s adventures, this volume includes a preface from the detective’s loyal companion updating the reader on Holmes’ health and whereabouts. The short stories see the famous duo working together to solve a series of bizarre and mysterious cases, culminating in a third-person spy narrative chronicling Holmes’ contribution to the war effort. Perfectly concluding the incredible Sherlock Holmes series, this volume is an essential read for fans of the pipe-smoking sleuth.
The stories featured in this volume include:
First published as a book in 1917, this volume collates short stories that were published in The Strand Magazine between 1908 and 1917. A specially commissioned introduction also features in this volume, alongside an article by Arthur Conan Doyle and an essay on the history of detective fiction by S.S. Van Dine.
“An excellent set, showing no sign of staleness… it is pleasant to notice that [Arthur Conan Doyle’s] hand has not lost its cunning.” – Observer, 1917
“Is it really his last? We thought he had made it when he discussed the “final problem” with the arch criminal, Dr. Moriarty, and had, to all appearance, been safely drowned in the torrent of a Swiss glacier. But he popped up again as lively as you please, only not quite so intelligent, and now he has come on the scene once more, as boastful, as positive, and as irritable as ever…” – Globe, 1917
