  Sherlock Holmes: The Complete...

  Sherlock Holmes, the iconic fictional detective, was brought to life by the British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Renowned for his exceptional skills in observation, deduction, forensic science, and nearly supernatural logical reasoning, Holmes refers to himself as a "consulting detective" in the myriad of compelling stories that feature him. He adeptly applies his formidable intellect to solve a wide range of cases for diverse clients, including the esteemed Scotland Yard. 
  The character made his inaugural appearance in print in 1887 with the novel "A Study in Scarlet," which introduced readers to his extraordinary investigative abilities. However, it was the subsequent release of short stories in "The Strand Magazine" beginning with the gripping tale "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891 that truly cemented Holmes’s popularity in the public consciousness. This collection of narratives continued to captivate audiences until 1927, culminating in a total of four novels and 56 enthralling short stories. Most of these narratives are ingeniously set against the backdrop of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, specifically from 1880 to 1914, immersing readers in a time of social change and intrigue. 
  Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes’s loyal friend and biographer, often serves as the storyteller of these adventures. He frequently accompanies Holmes on his investigations, forging a deep bond that is underscored by their shared residence at the famous address of 221B Baker Street in London. This quaint apartment becomes the starting point for many of their thrilling escapades, as they navigate the mysteries and complexities of crime in an era rich with character and atmosphere.

  #13 Dog's Waiting Room 
  Amateur sleuth Steve Levitan and his clue-sniffing golden retriever Rochester face two deaths in the 12th full-length novel in this long-running series. An Alzheimer’s patient slips away from home on his own and tumbles into the Delaware River. And then Steve’s love Lili suffers the crushing loss of her mother in a Miami Beach hospital. 
  Eckhardt Lalor left behind a fortune in real estate, a fractured family, and a bitter legacy as a city slumlord. Does that add up to murder? 
  #14 Dog's Honest Truth 
  There’s a new dog in town – a golden retriever named Luke, in training to be a seeing-eye dog. He and Rochester immediately bond, but there’s something odd about Luke’s human, Ben Ji. How can someone so young afford an expensive townhouse on Sarajevo Way? When Ben is shot, Steve begins to discover the lies he has been telling. 
  Steve’s also forced to tell the truth about his past, when he deals with a student plagiarist at Eastern College, a professor locked in the stone age, a climate activist with dangerous habits, an angry bartender—and a rifle-wielding assassin. 
  #15 All Dog's Children 
  For semi-reformed computer hacker Steve Levitan, his long-time girlfriend, Lili, is acting out of character, and he's eager to figure out why and how he can help her. But that gets delayed when Steve and his golden Rochester are brought onto investigate a double homicide in a posh neighborhood of Stewart's Crossing. 
  As Steve and Rochester dig deeper, they find that the motive to kill the couple might have a far more disturbing origin, and catching the killer requires Steve to bend all of the rules as a semi-reformed hacker.
