Dive into the deepest abysses of the human soul with Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson. From the days before his career as a consulting detective to years of his restful retirement, Sherlock Holmes has all too often encountered terrible events which served to shaped his philosophy. To Holmes, every adventure holds the possibility of teaching an earthly lesson regarding the nature of good and evil. All five adventures contained herein are told by Dr. Watson in the finest tradition and spirit of such classics as â€˜The Problem of Thor Bridge.â€™ THE FATHER OF EVIL. December, 1875. Sherlock Holmes is a student at Oxford, trying to decide the course of his life. when one of his young assistants vanishes. Holmes traces the missing lad to a ruined monastery, which now is home to an unhappy boarding school.

January, 1895. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are summoned to the remote reaches of Scotland by Inspector Lestrade to assist with the murder of a local landowner.

In so doing, Holmes unearths the remnants of an ancient tragedy. *** THE ADVENTURE OF THE FATAL FIRE. May, 1897. The survivor of a tragedy which took place two years earlier upon the shores of the Nile River enlists the aid of Sherlock Holmes to determine if the incident was nothing more than a terrible coincidence, or whether foul machinations were to blame. Holmes and Watson interview the other survivors only to learn that each has a different recollection of the events in the Nubian desert. If one of them is lying, what would possibly drive a man to consort with his nationâ€™s enemies? *** THE ADVENTURE OF THE AWAKENED SPIRIT. November, 1900. A troubled widower seeks the assistance of Sherlock Holmes to determine the nature of a supposed haunting of his father-in-lawâ€™s London home by his departed wife. What Holmes and Watson find in that terrible attic unsettles them to their very cores, and in the end, Holmes postulates that a spirit has indeed been awakened. *** THE COLD DISH. July, 1907.

But when a man is murdered in the Tankerville Club, Watson cannot help but inquire into the case.
