Here are three masterfully crafted cases involving intrigue, from the greatest mystery writer of all time, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and starring that most celebrated sleuth, Sherlock Holmes.In "The Crooked Man," a long-lost love returns, horribly changed, revealing awful treachery that has been kept secret for decades. In "The Greek Interpreter," Sherlock Holmes' brother, Mycroft, leads Holmes and Watson to a hideous murder and the betrayal of a foreign heiress. In "The Naval Treaty," an innocent man's honor, position, and health are at stake when a treaty of utmost importance is stolen from his office.

About Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He took a degree in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. He began writing detective stories to supplement his income, and A Study in Scarlet (1887) introduced his finest creation, the hawk-eyed detective Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
