Book summary

Twelve new cases of Sherlock Holmes, told by his friend Dr Watson. Holmes finds a famous missing racehorse, tells Watson about his very first case, and introduces him to his brother Mycroft, who is even better at observation than he is.

The collection ends with his confrontation with Professor Moriarty, “the Napoleon of crime”, one of the most famous episodes in detective fiction.

You can read each case in one sitting, and the lively dialogue makes them an ideal read in the language you are learning.

The plot

一匹賽馬失蹤了。銀斑駒是英格蘭最有名的賽馬。一場大賽的前幾天,牠在深夜從馬廄裡失蹤,馬廄位在全國西南部的荒原上。偵探夏洛克·福爾摩斯和朋友華生醫生一起搭上火車。到了現場,他注意到一個所有人都忽略的細節:那天夜裡,看門狗沒有叫。
