    "I moved my head, and there at my elbow stood a tall, thin man, his face gaunt and ascetic... 'Holmes!' I cried. 'Is it really you?'"
    
    Three years after his apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes miraculously reappears in London. To a stunned Dr. Watson, he reveals the truth of his survival and his secret travels through Tibet and Persia. But there is no time for sentiment; a deadly marksman—the last vestige of Moriarty's gang—is waiting in the shadows of Baker Street with an air-gun, and only Holmes can spring the trap.
    
    The Return of the Master: This collection marks the triumphant comeback of the detective who refused to stay dead. The Return of Sherlock Holmes features thirteen of his most ingenious cases. Solve the high-stakes code of The Adventure of the Dancing Men, track the bicycle tracks in The Adventure of the Priory School, and witness the dark justice meted out to the "King of Blackmailers" in The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton.
    
    Evolution of a Partnership: The bond between Holmes and Watson is deeper than ever in these stories. As they navigate the shifting landscape of Edwardian London, they encounter everything from stolen international treaties to kidnapped aristocrats. This volume proves that Holmes's powers of observation and deduction were not dimmed by his absence; rather, they were sharpened into a more formidable weapon against the forces of crime.
    
    The game is afoot once more. Purchase "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" today and experience the most famous comeback in literary history.
