Thirteen classic tales of mystery and suspense dating from the early years of crime fiction, 1890-1925. Sleuths including Max Carrados, Loveday Brooke, Dr. Thorndyke, Father Brown, and the original Great Detective himself, Sherlock Holmes, investigate a range of baffling crimes including murders, country house burglaries, jewel thefts, stolen government secrets, the sensational disappearance of a popular West End actress, and an entire train which has vanished into thin air.

The original collection of these stories, published in 1994 in England, did not include "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" because it was considered "too shocking." It was later added to the first American edition.

The Adventure of the Empty House, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.

Arthur Conan Doyle's 1887 novella introduced the world to Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant consulting detective, as portrayed through the eyes of his friend and colleague Dr. John Watson, a retired army physician. In A Study in Scarlet, Holmes and Watson take on their first case together, involving a body discovered in an abandoned London house with a bloody message scrawled on the wall above.

In their last case together before Holmes's death at Reichenbach Falls, the duo travel to the picturesque town of Painswick to look into some unusual activity at the estate of a man suffering from dementia. Their client is certain his house is haunted, but the truth of the matter is even worse. The case starts off as a trifling matter, but bodies begin to add up, as do frustrating clues to Holmes's own mysterious past, much to Watson's growing curiosity.
