At 221B Baker Street, a visitor can arrive with an ordinary problem — an absurdly generous job offer, a fiancé who vanished on the way to the wedding, an envelope containing five orange pips — and leave an hour later having watched Sherlock Holmes take their life apart and put it back together. Narrated by his friend Dr. Watson, these twelve self-contained cases introduced the world to the detective who reads a man's history in his shirt cuffs. Read them in any order; each one stands on its own.
