  "'Holmes,' I cried.'Is it really you? Can it indeed be that you are alive? Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?'"
  
  The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1905) was the first Holmes collection to be published since 1893, after his creator killed him off by having him plunge into the Reichenbach Falls while battling his nemesis, Professor Moriarty.
  
  Years later and in response to public demand, Conan Doyle resurrected the great detective in the thirteen tales that comprise this collection. From cryptic messages carved in childish code to the shadowy dealings of blackmailers, spies, and master criminals, Holmes and Dr. Watson plunge into mysteries that test the limits of deduction and loyalty alike. And Holmes is revealed as a man sharpened, not diminished, by his long absence—a man who has seen the world's darkness and returned with his intellect keener than ever.
  
  The stories included here are:
  
  - The Adventure of the Empty House

  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859—1930) was born in Edinburgh, where he qualified as a doctor before going on to create Sherlock Holmes, one of the most vivid and enduring characters in English fiction. Holmes, whose talent for deduction was modelled on the skill of Doyle's professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, first appeared in the full-length novel, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887. While Doyle wrote other works of fiction and non-fiction, none of those captured the public's imagination in the same way as consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who have become one of the most well-known detective duos in literature.
  
  Later in life, Doyle became a prominent public figure, known for his humanitarian campaigns and his controversial interest in spiritualism. His legacy endures in the enduring popularity of Sherlock Holmes and the countless adaptations inspired by his work.

  Movie star Nicky Tallon selects architect Wren Fontaine to renovate Turnbull House, where he will be filming his next movie. Even to Wren, used to old homes, this one is special. 
  It’s a two-hundred-year-old federal-style home on a private island in New York harbor, designed by the most celebrated architect of the day. But Turnbull House hides many secrets, such as the disappearance of the sea captain who built it. That’s just a historical curiosity, until a studio executive no one likes is killed. 
  Wren just wants to keep her worksite safe, but then another murder occurs, and she starts noting eerie connections between the mysteries surrounding the Turnbull family and Nicky and his entourage. The handsome star seems to have two girlfriends, a childlike folk singer and a cynical fashion model. Meanwhile, renowned actress Veronica Selwyn renews a friendship with Wren’s father, which Wren finds more disturbing than she wants to admit. She concludes it’s time she and her girlfriend Hadley take the next step and find a place together, an exciting but stressful change. 
  As the attacks continue, Wren realizes she will have to solve the mysteries surrounding Captain Turnbull and Nicky Tallon. Turnbull House speaks of order and harmony, and Wren must dig deep to see how the house has affected its owners, old and new. Fortunately for her, the eminently practical Hadley is by her side, pepper spray at the ready—because a frighteningly clever killer is about to find that Wren is getting too close to the horrific truth.
