Description:

>*The Shadows of Sherlock Holmes* is a fascinating collection of stories featuring detectives, criminal agents, and debonair crooks from the golden age of crime fiction: a time when Sherlock Holmes was ensconced in his rooms at 221B Baker Street and London was permanently wreathed in a sinister fog. These gripping tales of mystery, suspense, and clever puzzles are wonderfully entertaining, and in them you will meet The Crime Doctor; Professor Augustus S.F.X.Van Dusen - The Thinking Machine; Max Carrados - the incredible blind detective; the repulsive but brilliant Skin o' My Teeth; and the natty, ingenious French sleuth Eugene Valmont. On the other side of the law, there are gentlemen crooks Raffles and Simon Carn, the Prince of Swindlers.
