Stories of Conan Doyle

In this enthralling collection of Conan Doyle's best loved tales are pirates, soldiers, assassins, explorers and dabblers in the occult. A pilot, obsessed with the unknown world above, makes a fatal journey into the heavens; a train carrying an enigmatic pair of strangers disappears after leaving Liverpool; a penniless frustrated student finds, in the boxing ring, an unexpectedly lucrative outlet for his anger; in Paris an antique instrument of torture haunts the dreams of its new owner. Written with immaculate and convincing attention to detail, these classic stories make an excellent companion to the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels, and an essential volume for every bookshelf. -- Book Cover.
