Publisher Description: Sherlock Holmes is well known to us through the adventures he shared with John Watson and related by the good doctor. But even before that fateful meeting when Holmes observed to the man who was to become his closest friend, "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive," the world's first consulting detective had already taken on and solved many baffling cases.
