Book summary

Everyone believed Sherlock Holmes was dead. Yet he reappears in London, before Dr Watson's eyes, and takes up his cases again: drawings of little dancing men that hide a secret message, busts of Napoleon smashed one after another, a marksman lying in wait for him in an empty house.

Thirteen cases in which the smallest detail becomes a clue.

With their lively dialogue and clear sentences, they can each be read in one sitting in the language you are learning.

The plot

夏洛克·福爾摩斯回來了。三年來,人人都以為大偵探夏洛克·福爾摩斯已經葬身瑞士的一道瀑布。一天晚上,一個駝背的老書商走進福爾摩斯的朋友華生醫生家。華生轉頭看了一眼,再回過身來時,書商站的地方竟是福爾摩斯。

The world of the book

火車與腳踏車的英國。1894年至1901年間,福爾摩斯和朋友華生醫生又合住在倫敦的一間寓所裡。常常有電報向他們求助,兩人便搭火車奔赴鄉間。當時腳踏車正風靡一時。在一樁案子裡,一位年輕的音樂女老師每週六騎車去火車站;在另一樁案子裡,福爾摩斯在荒原上追蹤腳踏車的車轍。
