'Sherlock Holmes' Complete Set

The Scottish doctor and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle invented a character that made him world-famous: Sherlock Holmes.

The protagonist of his novels is considered the personification ofa master detective.

Maybe these are exactly the characteristics, that make him so popular with his readers ....Doyle's unusual master detective with pipe and tweed cap reached cult status and remains one of the bestloved protagonists in criminal literature even today. In the final novel 'His Last Bow' Conan Doyle shocked the fans - and let Sherlock Holmes die.
