Author Description

Instead of focusing on the usual mysteries in which Sherlock Holmes is the primary investigator, this volume puts a spotlight on an oft-overlooked part of his career in detection, putting the emphasis on his role as a consultant. For the first time ever, The Consultations of Sherlock Holmes collects sixteen ingenious cases in which he serves as a last resort for other detectives – both private investigators and those from the official police force – who come to Holmes for his unique perspective and aid as "the only unofficial consulting detective" in the world.
