The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Case Notes

Written by his trusted friend and companion, Dr John Watson, The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Case Notes chronicles nine of the most fascinating cases solved by the world’s most famous detective. Based on the many notes and evidence gathered during the course of Sherlock Holmes’s investigations, this fantastic collection is painstakingly presented as a scrapbook by Dr Watson.
