"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 one and only Sherlock Holmes is sensationally back from the dead and devoting his life once more to examining the criminal complexities of the capital. Cases of mysterious codes, persecuted millionaires, stalkers, abductions and a meeting with 'the worst man in London' are all attacked with renewed vigour. But Holmes' old enemies are watching his every move. Watching, waiting, plotting…The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of thirteen Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published between 1903-1904 by The Strand Magazine in Britain and Collier's in the United States. The stories were the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes famously appeared to have died.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on May 22, 1859, one of seven children who survived to adulthood. Moving away from his family's strict Catholicism and, cut off from their patronage, he decided to set up his own practice in Southsea in 1882. He was a doctor by trade; specializing as an optician. It is believed that during his off periods of work he would think about and write his various stories. He is well known for several science fiction works, and adventure stories but of course his most recognizable works are the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Doyle was a prolific writer; other than Holmes stories, his works include popular characters such as Professor Challenger and historical stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels.After the death of his first wife, Louise Hawkins, he went on to marry Jean Leckie in 1907 and they had two sons and a daughter. He died in 1930.
