  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was the preeminent figure in late 19th-century detective fiction. A physician by profession, he soon found such popularity as a writer of detective stories that his writing was far more profitable than his medical practice.In The Adventure of the Three Garridebs, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are faced with a very unusual case. A certain Mr. Nathan Garrideb, living a reclusive life in London, has been visited by a Mr. John Garrideb from America. The American explains that a late eccentric millionnaire of the same name as the two of them has left a will with a most peculiar bequest. He will receive one-third of the entire fortune if he can find two other men whose name is also Garrideb.Now that the two have made contact, they only have to track down a third Garrideb, and each will receive $5 million. Sherlock Holmes listens to the story of the first two Garridebs and realizes that something is amiss...but what? With Dr. Watson in tow, he sets out to unravel the mystery.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  The decades of this century see authors of every hue and talent assemble vast realms of fabulous literature that entertain the global audience then and to revisit now.  Genres explode across the landscape.  Genius in every name.
