Synopsis

Arthur Conan Doyle: The Complete Sherlock Holmes Books (The Giants of Literature - Book 18) presents a comprehensive collection of the iconic detective stories featuring Sherlock Holmes and his steadfast companion, Dr. John Watson. This anthology encapsulates the cunning wit, intricate plotting, and richly drawn characters that define Conan Doyle's distinctive literary style. Crafted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these narratives not only serve as profound explorations of human nature and morality but also reflect the societal anxieties of their time, such as class disparity and the rise of scientific rationalism. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), a physician turned prolific author, was largely inspired by his own medical training and the intriguing character of Dr. Joseph Bell, one of his professors. Doyle's background in medicine heavily influenced his development of Sherlock Holmes, whose deductive reasoning mimics the analytical processes of a physician. As a writer, Doyle was keenly aware of the rapidly changing social landscape of the Victorian era, a backdrop that informed the psychological depth and social commentary interwoven throughout his works. For readers seeking an immersive journey into the origins of modern detective fiction, this collection is an indispensable treasure. With meticulous attention to detail, Doyle's masterful storytelling has set the groundwork for countless literary successors. Delve into this complete anthology to appreciate the timeless brilliance of Sherlock Holmes and the enduring themes of justice and deduction that continue to resonate today.

    Expulsed Harvard student and ex-Special Forces operative Joe Brody is getting his life back together, living with his grandmother in Queens and taking what should be a simple job as a bouncer at a strip club where he can spend most of his night reading the classics. The only catch is that his childhood friend Gio Caprisi, now head of New York's Italian Mafia, relies on Joe’s extra-legal expertise when things get particularly nasty on the streets—where, in an agreement between Gio and the rest of the city's biggest crime syndicates, it's understood that Joe is the sheriff for an industry that doesn’t call the cops. 
     
     
     
    Most recently, New York's criminal underworld has been shaken by the disappearance of its most successful and desirable call girls, vanishing one by one from the brothels where they're employed. As a pattern emerges, what might otherwise appear to be a choice to pursue a new life comes to resemble something more troublesome—the work of a serial kidnapper—and when a woman turns up dead, the hunt for the predator behind it all becomes even more urgent. 
     
     
     
    To find the killer, Joe will have to plunge into the seediest fringes of Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs, populated with memorable characters that add humor and heart to this fast-paced caper.

This woman, formerly very quiet, has recently taken to cursing in the night, shouting "Murder, murder!" and "You cruel beast! You monster!" Also, her health has taken a turn for the worse, and she is wasting away. Mrs. Merrilow has brought this case to Holmes's attention as her tenant, Mrs. Ronder, will not involve the clergy or the police in something that she would like to say. She has told her landlady to mention Abbas Parva, knowing that Holmes would understand the reference.
